Life can still be beautiful
despite what you have seen,
despite what you have endured,
despite the years lost to loneliness
and mental illness
and trauma.

- Trista Mateer
MAY PEACE
NEVER LULL YOU
INTO COMPLACENCY
AND INACTION

do you weep when your inner child weeps?
- trista mateer
I write poems for you
the way other people
bring flowers to graves.

- Trista Mateer
There was a time
when I treated red flags
like roses

Precious soul, do not delay
embark on the wondrous journey
to the sea of meaning!

- Rumi
Once you express your sorrow
from the bottom of your heart
it will be washed away.

- Rumi
When the mind becomes confused, it is
Spirit that brings back clarity and harmony.

- Rumi
you are an echo
- rumi
Embrace sorrowful thoughts for they
sweep the house of your heart clean,
scatter the withered leaves, and pull out
the twisted roots, preparing the ground
for the new shoots of joy.

- Rumi
“Tell me,” my lover asked me tenderly,
“how could you live without me?”
I said, “without you I am lost
like a fish out of water.”
He smiled, “This is only your own fault.”

- Rumi
Come back my soul, how much longer
will you linger in the garden of deceit?
I have sent you a hundred messages
I have shown you a hundred ways
either you never read them
or you ignore my advice.

- Rumi
MARIANNE
Then what is your passion, Colonel? A man must have one.

BRANDON
I think you'll find most so-called passions are, in fact, affectations.

MARIANNE 
Why would anyone pretend to love art or dancing or nature?

BRANDON
As ornaments. To show off their own good taste.

If I have a passion, it is a passion distate for insincerity. Something I susppect
you can never be accused of.

MARIANNE
Then you will not mind my saying, Colonel. I think a man ought to be
at least artificially passionate, or he'd be sincerely dull.

Monstros não podem ser anunciados. Não se pode dizer: 'Eis os nossos monstros', sem transformar imediatamente os monstros em animais de estimação.

- Jacques Derrida
Para fingir, eu realmente faço a coisa: portanto, apenas fingi que fingia.
