i will never stop thinking about this poem my greek professor showed us

“When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calendar that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from a chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table. I spent my life learning to feel less. Every day I felt less. Is that growing old? Or is it something worse? You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness”

“I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief.”

“I used to think that a dead person’s words die with them. Now I know that they scatter, looking for meaning to attach to like a scent. My mother used to collect orange blossoms in a small shallow bowl. I pass the tree each spring. I always knew that grief was something I could smell. But I didn’t know that it’s not actually a noun but a verb. That it moves.”

Paint Tool Sai versions 1 and 2 were made by a single man named Koji Komatsu. It costs roughly $50/£40. If you intend on using it for commissions or making any kind of money please consider buying a license for it. The license covers both versions of Sai. It’s a single payment that ensures you will have access to all future updates and it supports a man that has created a genuinely wonderful product. You are not sticking it to any “system” by pirating Sai, you’re just denying a man money he’s earned by putting an affordable alternative to vastly overpriced software like Photoshop out there for us to use.
