atmosphere & medium
About
"It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."
--Henry David Thoreau

“As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep…feel it all – look around you- all of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.”Amelia Olson (via sassyfeminist)

“[The word ‘however’ is like an imp coiled beneath your chair. It induces ink to form words you have not yet seen, and lines to march across the page and overshoot the margin. There are no endings. If you think so you are deceived as to their nature. They are all beginnings.] Here is one.”Hilary Mantel, from Bring Up the Bodies (via the-final-sentence)

I don’t know what’s going on here.
Pinterest and food porn are not helping right now. They’re just making me want to run to the nearest grocery store and buy all the ingredients to make all the things.

Life is like fortune cookies, everything sounds better with “in bed” at the end.
Lunching … in bed.
Watching a movie … in bed.
Staying on the internets … in bed.
Reading a book … in bed. -
