  At times poetry is the vertigo of bodies and the vertigo of speech and the vertigo of death;

   the walk with eyes closed along the edge of the cliff, and the verbena in submarine gardens;

   the laughter that sets on fire the rules and the holy commandments;

   the descent of parachuting words onto the sands of the page;

   the despair that boards a paper boat and crosses,

   for forty nights and forty days, the night-sorrow sea and the day-sorrow desert;

   the idolatry of the self and the desecration of the self and the dissipation of the self;

   the beheading of epithets, the burial of mirrors;   

   the flute solo on the terrace of memory and the dance of flames in the cave of thought;

   the migrations of millions of verbs, wings and claws, seeds and hands;

   the nouns, bony and full of roots, planted on the waves of language;

   the love unseen and the love unheard and the love unsaid: the love in love.

Syllables seeds.

Happy Birthday to Frida Kahlo! Portraits: http://is.gd/ZmIymm

"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you." ~ Frida Kahlo

"We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals something deep inside us is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of 

trust, sacred..."

"Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, any experience that reveals the human 

spirit." ee cummings

"Now the trumpet summons us again, a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation." #JFK

"Not as a call to arms or battle, but a struggle against the common enemies of man, tyranny, poverty, disease & #war itself." #JFK #USA 1961

In the Course of human events, it becomes necessary to assume among the powers of #Earth, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind. 

All are created equal, endowed by #Earth & Divine w/ unalienable natural Rights. Among these are Life, Liberty & the pursuit of Happiness.

Whenever any Form of Govt. becomes destructive, it is the Right of humans to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new safe, happy Govt.

 Experience shows that mankind are more disposed to suffer sufferable evils, than to right themselves by abolishing accustomed social forms.

When a long train of abuses & absolute Despotism reduces humanity to evil & #War, it is their right, & their duty, to throw off such Govt.

I am boney & beautiful, cloaked by sparkles & shadows. Iam whispered about & passed by, living on gleanings & castaways. #IAmArt <3 #Art

Florida-based fantasy cat artist Carrie Hawks and her family recently adopted Anakin (“Ani”), an absolutely adorable male kitten born without a pelvis or back legs, describing him as a “miracle”. Hawks has created a comprehensive FAQ about Anakin and his life and runs his Facebook page (link) and Twitter feed (link) so that his new fans can watch his progress as he grows up. Of course, there’s lots of cute videos of Anakin playing.

Street artist INSA is merging graffiti and photography to make street art GIFs. The artist paints over a wall several times - photographing the process. He then stitches together the photos and turns them into GIFs. 

Check out more of INSA’s awesome work on his blog.

“Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.” ~ Oscar Wilde

Then this photo happened. I can’t even….eyes everywhere.
