This is the best sentence ever. I love all the ingredients in this pagan dictionary sandwich.

"In 1999, Morning Glory Zell-Ravenheart was asked by the editor of the Oxford English Dictionary to provide a definition of the term [polyamory]."

Thief, by Alice Walker

I wish to own only the warmth

of your skin

the sound your thoughts make

reverberating off the coldness

of my loss

to love you purely

as I love trees and

the quiet sheens and

colors

of my house

my heart is full

of charity

of fair play

although on other

occasions

it has been acknowledged

I am a thief

to be fully human is to sit together in the suffering

I follow this interracial blog, which is normally affirming and lovely for pushing back against the color line. but lately they've been posting just tons of white people in the developing world surrounded by grateful people of color.

I mean really. I expected a deeper engagement than that.

spring day

my heart is fragmented. I'm sitting at my desk, black coffee and the black keys, thinking about self-disruption and intimacy. How I need to extend grace and be given it. I'm traveling today and I'm excited. Spring days are the best for traveling, even when it's as unglamorous as driving down east coast highways. my roommate is transcribing Spanish songs into English and it's quiet and lovely. I am practicing stillness.

"I don't know what it is about me that makes people think I want to hear their problems. Maybe I smile too much. Maybe I wear too much pink. But please remember I can rip your throat out if I need to."
