The sorta literal translation from the arabic is so much more beautiful ::

“From here rose the first written letter, (finding its way) to every point on earth”

“When I began to listen to poetry, it’s when I began to listen to the stones, and I began to listen to what the clouds had to say, and I began to listen to other. And I think, most importantly for all of us, then you begin to learn to listen to the soul, the soul of yourself in here, which is also the soul of everyone else.”

— Joy Harjo (via mythologyofblue)

“I thought: pity the poor in spirit who know neither the enchantment nor the beauty of language.” — Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog (mythologyofblue)

[literaryfragments]

Their play was a kind of shared trance in which they created whole imaginary worlds, and they were forever involved in games and projects whose planning and execution were as real to them as they were invisible to everyone else: sometimes I would move or throw away some apparently inconsequential item, only to be told that it was a sacred prop in the ongoing make-believe, a narrative which seemed to run like a magic river through our household, inexhaustible, and which they could exit and re-enter at will, moving over that threshold which no one else could see into another element. And then one day the river dried up: their shared world of imagination ceased, and the reason was that one of them - I can't even recall which one it was - stopped believing in it. In other words, it was nobody's fault; but all the same it was brought home to me how much of what was beautiful in their lives was the result of a shared vision of things that strictly speaking could not have been said to exist.

Advice to Myself | Louise Erdrich

Leave the dishes. Let the celery rot in the bottom drawer of the refrigerator and an earthen scum harden on the kitchen floor. Leave the black crumbs in the bottom of the toaster. Throw the cracked bowl out and don’t patch the cup. Don’t patch anything. Don’t mend. Buy safety pins. Don’t even sew on a button. Let the wind have its way, then the earth that invades as dust and then the dead foaming up in gray rolls underneath the couch. Talk to them. Tell them they are welcome. Don’t keep all the pieces of the puzzles or the doll’s tiny shoes in pairs, don’t worry who uses whose toothbrush or if anything matches, at all. Except one word to another. Or a thought. Pursue the authentic-decide first what is authentic, then go after it with all your heart. Your heart, that place you don’t even think of cleaning out. That closet stuffed with savage mementos. Don’t sort the paper clips from screws from saved baby teeth or worry if we’re all eating cereal for dinner again. Don’t answer the telephone, ever, or weep over anything at all that breaks. Pink molds will grow within those sealed cartons in the refrigerator. Accept new forms of life and talk to the dead who drift in though the screened windows, who collect patiently on the tops of food jars and books. Recycle the mail, don’t read it, don’t read anything except what destroys the insulation between yourself and your experience or what pulls down or what strikes at or what shatters this ruse you call necessity.

1. Why do you have this blog? What is the purpose of this blog? I have this blog because I have to meet me in the end or a publisher. 2. What is your opinion of therapy and poetry/writing as a therapeutic tool? Actually the real therapy is the construction of a sickness. 3. What kind of poetry do you like? Poetry that doesn't just settle for a new line to start. 4. What do you think is the purpose of poetry? I speak for myself: as a weapon for silent bunglers. 5. What subject matter would you like to see covered by poetry? The one still unknown. 6. What is the purpose of Tumblr? 1) We will see. I have great expectations. 2) To make pornography prosper (which is always a form of γράφω, so tumblr is the natural environment for writers.
