I feel like this 1930s diary is a sadly accurate summation of the last five years of my life.

“Praise the light of late November, the thin sunlight that goes deep in the bones. Praise the crows chattering in the oak trees; though they are clothed in night, they do not despair. Praise what little there’s left: the small boats of milkweed pods, husks, hulls, shells, the architecture of trees. Praise the meadow of dried weeds: yarrow, goldenrod, chicory, the remains of summer. Praise the blue sky that hasn’t cracked yet. Praise the sun slipping down behind the beechnuts, praise the quilt of leaves that covers the grass: Scarlet Oak, Sweet Gum, Sugar Maple. Though darkness gathers, praise our crazy fallen world; it’s all we have, and it’s never enough.”

— Barbara Crooker, “Praise Song” (via litverve)

Anyway it’s scorpio season, so time to hold grudges and choke on your feelings until it all explodes in an exquisitely destructive rage!

“I will cut adrift—I will sit on pavements and drink coffee—I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim—this fine October.”

— Virginia Woolf, from a diary entry c. October 1927 featured in “Diaries,”
