Rainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours: Love Poems to God; from ‘Gott spricht zu jedem nur, eh er ihn macht’, tr. Anita Barrows & Joanna Macy

the song of achilles, madeline miller

paramore, “interlude: i’m not angry anymore” / martha gellhorn, selected letters / adonis, selected poems; “rage” (tr. khaled mattawa) / anne carson, plainwater: essays and poetry / carole maso, the art lover / jade bird, “furious” / carmen maria machado, in the dream house

Don’t succumb to chaos, chase dreams not people. Get out of controversies, you have no guilt that’s been implanted in you from the moment you were born.

No sucumbas al caos, persigue sueños no a personas. Salte de las controversias, no tienes ninguna culpa que te han implantado, desde el momento que naciste.

“So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me because I, too, am fluent in silence.”

— R. Arnold
