E.E. Cummings
“somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully, mysteriously) her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully, suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens; only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands”
E.E. Cummings, Selected Poems

“All the world is made of music. We are all strings on a lyre. We resonate. We sing together.”
Joe Hill, Heart-Shaped Box

“What is it that we need to overcome in order to truly be “Ourselves”?”
Stephen Adly Guirgis, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot: A Play

“CUNNINGHAM: I had two abortions, Mother Teresa, what do you think about that?

MOTHER TERESA: I will pray for you and your children.

CUNNINGHAM: I don’t have any children.

MOTHER TERESA: Not anymore, and dat’s terrible.

CUNNINGHAM: Mother Teresa, if abortion is so terrible, then how come I’m not in Hell?

MOTHER TERESA: I don’t know. Did anybody tell you you weren’t?

CUNNINGHAM: Must be nice to have all the answers.

MOTHER TERESA: Must be hard to have only questions.”
Stephen Adly Guirgis, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot

Stephen Adly Guirgis
“And what I need you to believe is that if you hate who I love, you do not know me at all. And make no mistake, "Who I Love" is every last one. I am every last one. People ask of me: Where are you? Where are you?...Verily I ask of you to ask yourself: Where are you? Where are you?”
Stephen Adly Guirgis, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
