Alex Simink said: " Utterly beautiful and moving.

Note to self:

"The most beautiful part of your body
is where it's headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world." ...more "

Alex’s Quotes

“Never mistake maintenance for care, attention for love, or even love for empathy.”

“I was sure that the god we had known in Palestine had left it too, and was a refugee in some place which I did not know, unable to find a solution to his own problems. And we, human refugees, sitting on the pavement waiting for a new fate to bring some solution, were responsible for providing a roof under which we spend the night.”
― Ghassan Kanafani, Men in the Sun and Other Palestinian Stories
