It’s hard to translate, but - love proves the rule of enduring and of mutability, being itself mutable… and I just think you’re gorgeous, you who process in ambiguity, take courage for space and the key permitting and understanding how to dissolve a mystification with a heart, like you might breathe out a bit too hard and that’s a sigh, love and it’s like while some number waves the ocean just laughs, remembering – in music buzz and bloom, in lyric truth, in dance abandon and whimsy, curling in love, lavender. Cosmic tenderness in the eyes, in day, new jasmine and fallen leaves with vagaries, in everything liberation. Going slow along the creek, you go. to be in the dark what you will, possibility; a moon
