I visited many places,
Some of them quite
Exotic and far away,
But I always returned to myself.

In the sky there are always answers and explanations for everything: every pain, every suffering, joy and confusion.

Intelligence is perhaps but a malady,-a beautiful malady; the oyster’s pearl.
– Rémy de Gourmont – Philosophic Nights in Paris

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities;
but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.
– Johann Wolfgang von Goethe –

Are you late?
It’s always hate
Troubles in your mind
Take back the pain
We got the rain
I don’t know why
Sweetness comes and goes
And I’m always here to stay
Reaching out and find that I’ll never be late
Sweet dogs, sweet rain
Never come and go
I’m oh, so fine and ready to blow
I’m oh, so fine and ready to blow
She keeps on singing that …

The truth is something that burns. It burns off dead wood. And people don’t like having the dead wood burnt off often because they’re 95 percent dead wood …
When you start to realise how much of what you’ve constructed of yourself is based on deception and lies, that is a horrifying realisation. It can easily be 95 percent of you and the things you say and the things you act out.
– Jordan Peterson – Insisting on the truth in times of chaos
Ph : Riccardo Melosu

from the complications of loving you i think there is no end or return. no answer, no coming out of it. which is the only way to love, isn’t it? this isn’t a playground, this is earth, our heaven, for a while. therefore i have given precedence to all my sudden, sullen, dark moods that hold you in the center of my world. and i say to my body: grow thinner still. and i say to my fingers, type me a pretty song. and i say to my heart: rave on.
– Mary Oliver – Thirst

It was always our story, if you forgot
everything that we say, we have to honor
and all the things we feel we have to remove
It’s just the way we keep it all in the groove …

Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions feat. Kurt Vile – Let Me Get There

you’ll fall asleep under a tree
you’ll think of me, I hope so
won’t you linger on? make my branches strong
‘til I know I can shade you
you’re all solitude in my memory
can I please haunt you?
in the wild sun where we’ve just begun
like the dolphins here …

Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions: Day Disguise

my soul …
I left it on a cliff by the sea
and naked I came to you …
I forgot everything …
I knew only that your caresses held captive …
Oh, hold me close in your arms,
so tightly that I need nothing
– Edith Södergran –
