love and do not fear and all will be given. the fierceness of our love is its divinity. the sharing of this love is a blessing for the wee green things, which tremble when touched with light, and grow. this world is a treasure.

It is by an extreme capacity for defiance that certain unusual people who have everything to hope and everything to fear from one another will always recognize one another.

The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.

And then let an unknown man
From some future century
Stare at me audaciously,
And give me, a fleeting shade,
An armful of wet lilacs
Just as the thunderstorm passes away.

I imagined a ghost. It didn’t exist & knew it didn’t. It knew it was impossible. The ghost wasn’t violent but very discreet & didn’t intrude on privacy. But it loved to haunt. It wanted to see how we handled things, specifically the fact that soon we’d also be impossible ghosts, haunting impossibly.

The most sensitive musical instrument is the human soul. The next is the human voice. One must purify the soul until it begins to sound.

Every path begins as a rumour,
a quiet suggestion in the earth,
that someone once believed in that direction.
