August.

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." — Arundhati Roy

 And somehow it feels as if frozen in time

not stuck, rather full of life in an instantaneous moment

or season of life

to feel like there is so much to learn and grow from

and so much ahead to see and breathe in

or maybe its just the knowledge

that an adventure awaits -

so much hope lies in

a flight that is already booked!

 for some reason I slept with the light on 

for part of the night. As if the moment 

would pass too quickly if shrouded in darkness.

My heart is full of joy and a little longing.

oh, august.
