Exits

By Langston Hughes


The sea is deep,
A knife is sharp,
And a poison acid burns -
But they all bring peace
For which the tired
Soul yearns.
They all bring rest
In a nothingness
From where
No soul returns.

It's all in the Accessories

So I'm extremely into accessories. I believe that ur jewelry, shoes, purse, jacket, etc makes ur outfit NOT ur clothes. It seriously takes me longer to pick out my accessories than it does my clothes.

Anywho, I say all that in order to introduce my new "segment".

Instead of doing an outfit of the day post, I'm going to do accessories of the day. It's basically a way to showcase my "rings and things"

Hopefully I keep up with it.

Things That Make Me Smile

I went to my local barnes and noble the other day to check out some poetry books and I just had to a take a picture of this ish.

Do you see that? They seriously only had 4 Langston Hughes books, 2 of which I already own. I seriously couldnt believe it. They're straight lackin. They had a bunch of Emily Dickenson and Shakespeare books, but only four hughes' books....psh. Couldnt believe that...


I just had to share.

“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

Proverbs 13:20

"A heart at peace gives life to the body."


Proverbs 14:30

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers





Each day I'm loving myself more and more. I'm less concerned about what others are doing, and more concerned about what feels right to me. Above all else, each day, I'm growing.

"What is poetry? It is the human soul entire, squeezed like a lemon or a lime, drop by drop, into atomic words."


-Langston Hughes

"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a love sickness. "


-Robert Frost

Technology

So I'm sitting in the library meeting with my group tonight, and one of my group members says something very interesting. He looks around and says something to the effect of " wow, look at all these books. in a few years theyll be obsolete. We can do all our research and everything online." Another member shakes her head in agreement and says "yeah, i havent had to actually use a book for research since high school. my teacher made us all use an actual book, no internet."

As I sat there and listened to their conversation, I couldn't help but think about how I would feel if books were all of a sudden obsolete, and reading online was officially the norm.

I personaly don't like that idea. I love books. As wonderful as technology, and the internet, is, nothing beats being able to open a new (or old) book and having the ability to let your mind run free....



But yeah. I don't really know where I was going with this. I guess I just figured I'd share. lol
