busy throwing

like a magician

Und so lang du das nicht hast
Dieses: Stirb und Werde!
Bist du nur ein trüber Gast
Auf der dunklen Erde

(And as long as you don't have
This: Die and become!
You are only a gloomy guest
On the dark Earth)

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

It's covered with human triumphs but also with sad stories of failure.

-Greg Bear

I bought a cactus. A week later it died. I got depressed because I thought Damn, I am less nurturing than a desert.

hello there

And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs,
And prayers and proclamations

-Florence + The Machine (All This and Heaven Too)
