peace beneath the city

Millions of Monarch butterflies are currently on their way back again to the US, after spending the winter in Mexico. They’ll travel thousands of miles and reproduce along the way. [Instagram/FransLanting]

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

uuhhhh when you try all the sounds and beats on your synth while only playing toto - africa

For Adam & Mitchell on their wedding. Love is patient, love is kind It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud Love is taking the entire winter to prepare for the winter Love is making plans for your plants when you go away Love is coming home Love is Justin and Selena getting back together not caring that everyone knows it’s cuffing season It’s like rain on your wedding day               that’s not love, that’s just ironic Love is the feeling you get after scrolling all of Yoko Ono’s tweets in the year of the devil, 2017 Love is when she said, “Time is a concept made by men.” Love is your mother and the 17 times Yoko tweeted about celebrating Mother’s Day in different countries Love is self-care by following Yoko’s instructions, which she tweeted on April 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7:               Apr 3               First thing in the morning               stretch               Apr 4               First thing in the morning               breathe out all the sadness and pain               you accumulated overnight               Apr 5               First thing in the morning               breathe in deeply as if               you are breathing               the whole Universe into you               Apr 6               First thing in the morning               smile with your whole body               Apr 7               First thing in the morning               thank the Universe               for another magical day Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs Love is Lower Dens at the Ottobar, chanting               I will treat you better               I will treat you better               I will treat you better               I’ll treat you better               Hold on Love is maintaining a home wherever your family is not Love is putting Us first, because it is safest there Love is the structure It is building, setting on fire, and building again Love is accepting that different tastes in music exist Love knows that you can be cooler if you want it Love is sharing hygienic products It is bringing home one thing and then bringing home another Love is arguing over different aspects of the band Maroon 5 because sometimes there is literally nothing else to argue about Love is giving in Love is growing up Love is never stopping Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth It is Yoko’s tweet on August 16th, 2017:                                    Hold your friend in your heart and walk together. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres Love turns you inside out so you can see the part of you that’s drifting over me And when you wake they’re never there but when you sleep they’re everywhere Love never fails You are everywhere
