"There are poems inside of you that paper can’t handle."
#i feel this so hard #but my job is to put forward a sacred trembling attempt nevertheless #the motivation of my heart is what carries the truth despite all limitation #besides that sort of truth is inherently holographic #the paper cannot hold the total vastness of it #but it can hold a tiny glimmering piece #and that piece still contains the inherent beauty of the whole #in however small and fragile a way #so every effort is precious #because every effort is an accomplishment #the heart cannot fail #and the poetry deserves to be written #no matter what #jay's post #musings

"some friends you see every day, and some friends you see when there's blood in the air. you need both."
#darkspacers #retributors #daemons #tormentors #persecutors #we all exist for necessary reasons #every one of us is alive for the sake of life #however paradoxical it may seem #it is the truth #sacred dark #words #blood

"there won't always be someone there to catch you. so fall now, while the falling's good!"
#dare to suck #words #you need to fall in order to fly #even though it's terrifying #but every time we try #we learn a little more #i promise all of you #one day soon we will soar #it is an inevitable glorious victory #because we don't ever give up on each other #there's still hope

She means the entire world to us. If not for her, none of us would probably be alive right now. Her unwavering dedication to both our Core bloodlines and her fellow Nousfoni, the wisdom and support and hard but needed advice she freely gives whoever needs it, the fact that she's always the one leading every new and challenging endeavor... in a way, she's a real cornerstone of this System. We all adore her, and even if we didn't do anything specific to celebrate her life today... I think she's happy enough with the fact that we're all still alive. We're all still healing and learning and growing. We're still holding unflinchingly to determined hope and indomitable love. That's what she has devoted her life to protecting: our collective life, with all its pains and joys. In short, our continued existence is a testament to hers. And I think she appreciates that fact, even if she might try to say it's just her doing her job. But that's exactly the point. She Lives for this; she loves doing this-- yes, even when it hurts terrifyingly-- and she does what needs to be done unfailingly. Thank God she has this job.
She says she wouldn't have it any other way.
The sentiment is entirely mutual, love.
Happy 11th, Laurie. Here's to the rest of our life together.
