Rainer Maria Rilke, from Rilke’s Book of Hours: Love Poems to God
“I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.”
— Nietzsche
Auguste Rodin, Eternal Springtime, ca 1884.
Alexander Blok, translated by Robert Chandler, from a poem titled "Dreams of You,"
the thing about me is i always make the right decisions even if it's not always immediately obvious
i need everyone to know that community is what will save us all in every single way imaginable. you forming a bond with your neighbour or coworker might help them move house or feel less alone or have the courage to leave an unhealthy living environment. you helping a stranger might provide them with hope. in turn, being able to lean on your community in times of need will save you. your broader bonds with your community are the revolution we need. our society seeks to divide and separate us in so many ways but we are all so much more united in our struggles and joys than you are made to believe. we need to hold onto each other very tightly.
“Trees know when we are close by. The chemistry of their roots and the perfumes of their leaves pump out change when we’re near… when you feel good after a walk in the woods, it may be that certain species are bribing you.”
— Richard Powers, The Overstory
