I love reading way too much

but how glorious to release them in a single burst! to sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! these are powerful mysteries. the bellowing of bulls. springs of honey bubbling up from the ground. if we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away that veil and look at that naked, terrible beauty right in the face. let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. then spit us out reborn.

Louis MacNeice and fresh coffee this morning. My own autumn journal: I met up with some friends today and we went for a big walk around Nunhead Cemetery, bought plants at the nursery nearby and had a pub roast. This evening some friends we haven’t seen in a while are bringing a board game around for a games night. Sundays are such magic

SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO STILL TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AFTER DEPRESSION HIT THEM HARD. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH RECOGNITION FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO LOSE INTEREST AND MOTIVATION AGAIN BUT PUSH THEMSELVES TO DO STUFF ANYWAYS. YOU ARE FIGHTING A DAILY BATTLE WITH YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND YOU’RE STILL COMING OUT ON TOP, YOU’RE ALL BRAVE AS FUCK

Autumn resides within me, filling her lungs with the air that brews a spell of otherworldliness that can only be seen in the bleeding trees and crunch of fallen leaves.
