Precious / truth

“Inside, we are ageless...and when we talk to ourselves, it's the same age of the person we were talking to when we were little. It's the body that is changing around that ageless center” - David Lynch. RIP

Some loves are magnetic lust.  Some cause humbling bows of admiration.

Yes Death, we know you’re a necessity

“if ever the world is to be again flooded, like the Netherlands, to kill off its rats, then the eternal whale will still survive, and rearing upon the topmost crest of the equatorial flood, spout his frothed defiance to the skies.” #hermanmelville
