don't think twice it's alright

“I am not the first person you loved.
You are not the first person I looked at
with a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edge
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we’d given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.

This is how we heal.
I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
on your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.

And I will not be afraid
of your scars.

I know sometimes
it’s still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether it’s the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.

mucholderthen:

WHAT IF OTHER PLANETS WERE AS CLOSE TO US
AS OUR OWN MOON?

Illustrator and author Ron Miller sought to answer the question visually. And - visually - it would be stunning. But …

These visualizations show only what it would look like in the instant before the gravity of those planets caused Earth (and us) some major tectonic difficulty. At least major tectonic difficulty.

MARS Diameter 6,792 km | 4,220 miles

VENUS Diameter 12,104 km | 7,521 miles

commovente:

Finnish photographer Riitta Päiväläinen uses discarded clothing from second-hand shops and flea markets to carry silent, unknown stories and histories. By freezing the garment or letting the wind fill it with air, she is able to create a sculptural space, which reminds her of its former user.

“The unavoidable fact that I will never know the actual story and personal histories connected with the clothes arouses my curiosity. The clothes remain silent, withholding their secrets. Little by little, personal histories are absorbed into the collective history.”

Anatomy to me is a homesick stomach and a broken heart.

“i just wanted to share that earlier, on the way to the liquor store, i went past the local national guard station that’s around here. saw a bunch of guardsmen who must’ve been on standby or just gotten off duty across the street at the playground, playing basketball with a bunch of local teenagers. the guardsmen were in full fatigues and combat boots.
thought to myself, it’ll be alright.”
