Made of Rivers [Revised & Expanded]

by Emory Hall

spring will come with its long light and lessons of how we need some seasons of darkness in order to bloom.

the sounds of a thousand foreign streets live inside my lungs. the colors of a hundred different sunsets live inside my eyes. there are a million pieces of me scattered across oceans. there are so many ways that we never return. — travel

some water will cleanse you. some water will drown you. learn to spot the difference before you dive in. — relationships

it’s funny how the thing that gives me the most words is silence. — writing is listening

some clarity disrupts. find it anyway. — truth

your storms have a way of doing that. of clearing things i didn’t know i needed to let go of.
