"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin

Naming what happened to you might not fix it. But it shifts something in you, the culture, the dread in all that silence.

For those of you not familiar with The Marginalian, I want to introduce you to an incredible writer and curator of art, thought and meaning through this great little piece on the sage icon Baldwin.

Much love.

i don’t know how to describe the soul-rendingly deep ache of meeting your best friend in adulthood and knowing you’ll never get to know them when you were both little kids

Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.

You are capable. You are going to keep going and it will be OK. Young soul, let yourself grow old. And as each experience etches itself onto your face, as every moment and decision sinks into your bones, remember that it was ok that you were here. It was a delight that you were here. And the world will keep spinning. And it will remember your footsteps.

A. A. Milne’s Dedication in The House at Pooh Corner

Text:

Dedication

You gave me Christopher Robin, and then

You breathed new life in Pooh

Whatever of each has left my pen

Goes homing back to you.

My book is ready, and comes to greet

The mother it longs to see—

It would be my present to you, my sweet,

If it weren’t your gift to me.
