Book cover for Looking for Alaska
I wanted to be one of those people who have streaks to maintain, who scorch the ground with their intensity.
Crystal
But I think some people change too often to have streaks. Unless failing at streaks counts as its own streak.

“That Little Beast That pretty little beast, a poem, has a mind of its own. Sometimes I want it to crave apples but it wants red meat. Sometimes I want to walk peacefully on the shore and it wants to take off all its clothes and dive in. Sometimes I want to use small words and make them important and it starts shouting the dictionary, the opportunities. Sometimes I want to sum up and give thanks, putting things in order and it starts dancing around the room on its four furry legs, laughing and calling me outrageous. But sometimes, when I’m thinking about you, and no doubt smiling, it sits down quietly, one paw under its chin, and just listens.”
Mary Oliver, Felicity

“Except for the Body Except for the body of someone you love, including all its expressions in privacy and in public, trees, I think, are the most beautiful forms on the earth. Though, admittedly, if this were a contest, the trees would come in an extremely distant second.”
Mary Oliver, Felicity

Ursula K. Le Guin
“So what if he was crazy? What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven

“I have refused to live locked in the orderly house of reasons and proofs. The world I live in and believe in is wider than that. And anyway, what’s wrong with Maybe?”
Mary Oliver, Felicity

“Poems arrive ready to begin. Poets are only the transportation.”
Mary Oliver, Felicity
