The days began to fly now, and yet each one of them was stretched by renewed expectations and swollen with silent, private experiences.

Yes, time is a puzzling thing, there is something about it that is hard to explain.

– Thomas Mann –

We love with all our heart but we also keep our heart light and pliable. It has space. It breathes. It waits on life to give instructions. It sings with sweetness when the winds are soft and warm. It stands with calm patience when the storm is brewing. It lets go when endings have left their irrefutable mark. It moves. It heals. It hopes.

– Donna Goddard –

It is the tenderness that breaks our hearts… It is the sweetness that makes us want to reach out and touch the soft skin of another person. And it is the grace that comes to us, undeserving though we may be.

– Robert Goolrick –

Writing down your thoughts is both necessary and harmful. It leads to eccentricity, narcissism, preserves what should be let go. On the other hand, these notes intensify the inner life, which, left unexpressed, slips through your fingers. If only I could find a better kind of journal, humbler, one that would preserve the same thoughts, the same flesh of life, which is worth saving.

Moreover the writer invents himself as a character in this form. He shapes himself from the shards of the everyday, from the truth of that daily life. Which is also a truth not to be scorned.

Ph : Francesca Woodman –

In a manner of speaking

I just want to say

that I could never forget the way

you told me everything

by saying nothing

In a manner of speaking

I don’t understand

how love in silence becomes reprimand

But the way that I feel about you

is beyond words

Oh give me the words

Give me the words

that tell me nothing

Oh give me the words

Give me the words

that tell me everything …
