this fall we are working through the hurt that’s buried in us. we’re digging up the stagnant pain and making room to heal. we’re being intentional in each of our actions. we’re disassembling the maladaptive habits and behaviors that no longer help but harm us. we’re looking at things in a new light, through the lens of healing and growth. we’re being practical with our recovery, making plans for our future, taking steps to getting better. this fall is a time of healing transformation. we will be unrecognizable coming out the other side, and we will be all the better for it.

“I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”

— Mary Oliver, from “When Death Comes”, New and Selected Poems: Volume One

“Adults guess and assume that I’m not going to understand things just because I’m a little kid.  And it can be frustrating.  Cause, like, I really want to know stuff.  Or even when they do talk to me about things, they’ll always try to ‘tone it down to my level.’  They especially avoid the heavy themes like sex and death and cannibalism and stuff.  But that’s stuff I want to talk about.  I’m really fascinated by the Donner Party.  The entire expedition, really.  What did it feel like to eat people that you knew?  I’m also fascinated by how the human mind deals with death.  It’s like people shut down the idea of death completely, and insist that heaven and hell are places after death.  But death is death.  And everyone after death is dead, because consciousness is just your brain.  And even if there is evidence of life after death, it’s difficult to assess.  We’re going to be incredibly biased toward any information that suggests there’s something more.  Because we are so desperate to believe it.”

“I’ll give you something to cry about!”

[sparrowsista]

I pray to God that none of you ever fall in love with words. I pray you fall in love with actions and kept promises. You deserve that much.
