Nina

“a veces la poesía
se duerme en el oído del amor
haciendo un nido de juramentos
de luna, fuego y pasión
celebrando la dicha de despertar con vida

//

at times
poetry
falls asleep in love's ear
crafting a nest from vows and oaths
made of moons, fires and passion
praising the joy of waking up alive”
― Jean-Pierre Rueda, Amor Entre Aguaceros/Love Between Downpours

“Happiness is never beyond reach. It's not in the distant past, nor on the horizon of the future. It's right in front of me.”
― Hwang Bo-Reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop

“Women's bodies collect material the way metals accrue in organs.”
― Rachael Allen, Kingdomland

“Books are not meant to remain in your mind, but in your heart. Maybe they exist in your mind too, but as something more than memories.”
