“Just tell me what you saw this morning like in two lines. I saw a water glass on a brown tablecloth, and the light came through it in three places. No metaphor. And to resist metaphor is very difficult because you have to actually endure the thing itself, which hurts us for some reason.”— Marie Howe on a writing exercise she gives to her students, as told to Krista Tippett for On Being (via bostonpoetryslam)
So you have been on a journey and you are a stranger to this place. You are an adventurer, a seeker, an adventurer in your mind. You are interested in the power of the woman, in a woman’s deep strength and creativity. You’re becoming this woman. But you need to resign yourself to the awkwardness of life. Only if you find peace within yourself will you find true connection with others.
Before Sunrise (1995) dir. Richard Linklater
Something inside me has always been there. But now it’s awake. And I’m afraid.
STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII - THE LAST JEDI (2017) dir. Rian Johnson
Since I was a child, I’ve always loved a good story. I believed that stories helped us to ennoble ourselves, to fix what was broken in us, and to help us become the people we dreamed of being. Lies that told a deeper truth. I always thought I could play some small part in that grand tradition. And for my pains, I got this. A prison of our own sins. Because you don’t want to change. Or cannot change. Because you’re only human after all.
