Don't be scared of getting older. Every year I'm reborn as the most me I've ever been.

for these dark days and nights filled with memories and spirits:

howling whispers - a ritual playlist full of shadows, sighs, and ethereal strangeness.

dziady -  a slavic playlist for an eerie and dark night of ancestral veneration and cult of the dead.

“Nothing is ever dead, only emerges like waves from the ocean and then is reabsorbed back into the ocean. Nothing is ever dead, only projection/ manifestation into the physical/temporal realm and reabsorption/ dissolution/ unmanifestation back into nonphysical/eternal realms. “There was never a time when these monarchs, you, or I did not exist; nor shall we ever cease to exist in the future.”

— Krishna (Bhagavad Gita, 2.12)

Kate Baer, from And Yet: Poems; “Idea”

[Text ID: “I will enjoy this life. I will open it like a peach in season, suck the juice from every finger, run my tongue over my chin. I will not worry about clichés or uninvited guests peering in my windows. I will love and be loved. Save and be saved a thousand times. I will let the want into my body, bless the heat under my skin. My life, I will not waste it. I will enjoy this life.”]

actually i love growing older and learning how i work as a person like realizing what kinds of fabrics feel best on my skin or what brand of yogurt i like best or how I want to be touched. watching myself change, enjoying brussel sprouts when I used to hate them as a child, understanding why I got angry in that one conversation 10 years ago… there are so many mysteries inside me that i have yet to unravel and there will always be more and sometimes i think maybe its all worth it
