Things I Would Like to do With You
"I would like to not come back for ten days (ten days is not long enough, but it is longer than I have taken for myself in eleven years). It would be a first visit, a return to the woods of my youth. I can cut wood quite well, and show you how. I can pick too much mint, because I am distracted by you. The mint is strong, almost bitter, in the wild." ~ #WaylonLewis, #ThingsIwouldliketodowithYou

“Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I'm gazing at a distant star. It's dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago. Maybe the star doesn't even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.” ~ Haruki Murakami Get our best articles, not just our popular.

Everything Changes
"As long as we’re caught up in always looking for certainty and happiness, rather than honoring the taste and smell and quality of exactly what is happening, as long as we’re always running away from discomfort, we’re going to be caught in a cycle of unhappiness and disappointment, and we will feel weaker and weaker." ~ Pema Chödrön

"We all have a little brokenness inside us, cracks and splinters where the light shines through to infect the darkness. Drake seems to poetically word this in a way that allows us to view our brokenness as stunningly beautiful. We are all a mixture of dark and light, and accepting each one of our shades is what makes us entirely whole." ~ Alex Myles 🐘 Follow the link to read the rest of an astonishing collection of r.m. drake's quotes ❤️

On Politics: Stop sidelining your own power.
"This is about not giving up your own power and about doing the simple action of voting. You don't have to be an expert. You just have to pay attention a little bit. Ask your friends, really think about your values and look at who is actually looking to be a public servant." ~ Waylon Lewis ⁠ This is a commentary based on Chapter 64/108 of "It's Never Too Late to Fall in Love with your Life" by the author.
Lessons from the Ocean
"Stand still and see how I am at once turbulence and peace.⁠ ⁠ Watch as I am myself wave after wave, never attempting to please anyone but myself. I am perfect as I am.⁠ ⁠ See how I roll into the shore then leave it, both without expectation, what will be, will be." “Wake up, wake up,” whispers the ocean. “Stay here, stay with me, stay with yourself. Open to wonder. Open to the stillness.” ~ @monikacarless.moonwitch ⁠ 🐘 Artwork by @ink.and.earth 💙 ⁠ ⁠

How to Love a Woman who Travels
⁠ "A woman who travels is not just any kind of woman.⁠ She travels because her soul yearns for her to explore—she needs to travel.⁠ ⁠ She doesn’t just travel for the beautiful places, she travels as a form of meditation. A way to reconnect with her heart and soul. It’s as much an internal process as it is an external one." 👉 Click the link to keep reading 🙏⁠ ⁠ 🎨Art: @mintgreenmondays⁠ ⁠

“I would steal poetry from your heart, and leave it for you to read with tea, your heart, my words, bound in a book of tan paper.” ~ #waylonlewis ❤️ ⁣⁠ #elephantjournal #thingsiwouldliketodowithyou #fiction #bookworm #writerscommunity
