“Don‘t dismiss the elements. Water soothes and heals. Air refreshes and revives. Earth grounds and holds. Fire is a burning reminder of our own will and creative power. Breathe them in. Swallow their spells. There‘s a certain sweet comfort in knowing you belong to them all.”
“Let‘s not travel to tick things off lists, or collect half-hearted semi-treasures to be placed in dusty drawers in empty rooms. Rather, we‘ll travel to find grounds and rooftops and tiny hidden parks, where we‘ll sit and dismiss the passing time, spun in the city‘s web, ‘til we‘ve surrendered, content to be spent and consumed. I need to feel a place while I‘m in it.”

“This strangely still pause between summer and autumn, greenery and gold, and the heat and rising wind that is once again readying itself to rush it all away in a climactic symphony of color and scent is ~ in my opinion, one of the best parts of living on earth.”
"How can I hold things safe and steady with others if I don't feel safe and steady within myself?"
I am so in love with the poetry of Victoria Erickson.
