It will scare you.”

She was in the kitchen. Not crying.

Not crying, I said.

He was in the hallway almost gone, like the rest of them

We were in the living room. Not caring.

Not caring, mind you.

Perhaps we did. Perhaps we cared, a bit.

Perhaps she did a bit of crying too.

"You are one of those people, it is clear, who needs help. I think you should stop speaking in a low..."

“

You are one of those people, it is clear, who needs help. I think you should stop speaking in a low attractive voice whenever you call. Stop making me think of velvet and fragrant tobacco and that first sip of bourbon. Stop inciting stirrings, movements between us…little rebellions, causing chaos in all of my darker places. The top half of my body is at gross political warfare with the lower. One part of me is roaring and the other wholly disapproves. You are a beautiful danger. Do not force me to open up. Some books are bound tightly for years for reasons. Some books are burned for their own good, Love. Stop wearing clothes the way that you do. Don’t allow them to cling to your body like that. Do not follow these effortless fashions where everything looks just so, because, really who could resist such a thing? The Lord knows you are beautiful, and unfair. I think perhaps you should spare a thought, dear, for those who are sick over you, burning up with you, damp for you.You know what you do. You’re a slow fever. Don’t be so very engaging, amusing or witty, or bright. You are causing confusion and jams in tight spaces. You are an accident in waiting. The type of accident with casualties spanning from me to you and here to there, a potential tragedy, a stunning unborn disaster. Should I touch you, I will suffer and you will suffer and she will suffer. You are a danger zone. I must not enter, I should not enter, but I might.”

- Yrsa Daley-Ward: emergency warning 

I want to thank you. Saying so doesn't surmise how much. I just discovered you this morning. I'm on a new life journey. I actually got in my knees and prayed for you being right where you needed to be at that very moment. *blessing*

When a lovely stranger is wishing you well, sending you blessings :-) what a start to the week! Thank-you so much for that.

Here’s to your wonderful new journey and to mine…I’m excited.
