“Consider that you radiate. At all times. 

Consider that what you’re feeling right now is rippling outward into a field of is-ness that anyone can dip their oar into. 

You are felt. You are heard. You are seen. 

If you were not here, the world would be different. 

Because of your presence, the universe is expanding.”

I heard what you said.
I’m not the silly romantic you think.
I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars.
I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already.
I want…a steady hand. A kind soul.
I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe.
I want to love, and be loved.

Shana Abe

I want to be with you

I want to be with you behind the scenes,
before coffee, before the sun,
when your hair is a fright and your skin is still dented by the mattress seam.
I want to touch you then,
when you’re prickly and unshaven,
when you’re half dressed, or less,
when you’re unmade and distracted and every bit yourself.
I want to see you getting yourself ready for others.
I want to live in that place.
I want to be with you, behind the scenes, knowing I’m not one of the others.

Peregrine

This is how we heal.

I will kiss you like forgiveness.
You will hold me like I’m hope.

Clementine von Radics,
