#LITSOLACE

I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night...
-Sylvia Plath

#litsolace poetry

Keats was an English poet of the second generation of Romantic poets. His poems had been in publication for less than four years when he died of tuberculosis at the age of 25.
Keats believed that a poem must strive for the infinite and that there is a real world of mortality and an ideal world of permanence. His vision of a society, where nature and humankind are at one, as the true home for humankind is something to strive for.

Broygez, meaning an unbridgeable anger, or more precisely, a pouting and irreconcilable anger, is the Yiddish take on the Hebrew beh'rogez, literally “ in anger” [beh = in and rogez= anger] or as it is generally pronounced — brogez.

#litsolace SUMMER CAMP

🛶🏕️⛺️TAKE A CANOE TRIP THAT CREEPS INTO THE NIGHT, THEN SET UP CAMP ON SHORE…🏕️♥️

I‘ve been nostalgic about summer camp this week. I loved it so much. We had a week where we went out and canoed and camped (older years) and there are no words to describe the exhilaration of those times. Extremely grateful that my summers aged 8-16 was camp. 💚🏕️💚

So did you ever go to camp? Did you want to?

Words that spark adventure..

"Walking" is a transcendental essay that analyzes the relationship between man and nature, trying to find a balance between society and our raw animal nature.

Walking, or sometimes referred to as "The Wild", is a lecture by Henry David Thoreau first delivered at the Concord Lyceum on April 23, 1851.

Such a beautiful life that left us earlier this month.
What a loss for her husband & daughters.

Make every second count breathe in each moment.
Love hard, because this all, it ends has been my wholes life‘s mantra. This book is another instance of why. 🤍

5 stars 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

“We come together with our own histories, our own baggage, our own worldviews that may be strikingly at odds at times. But after all these years, and all of our countless arguments, we are here, together still.” On her marriage.

I‘m half way in. This is dead on if you‘ve experienced trauma, illness or both. Maria Shriver recommended this in her Sunday newsletter.

Basically this is where I‘ve spent my time in June.

I highly recommend every book pictured.

“Circle the words that pull at your heart”

Fun to think about 💚 #litsolace

Times of Night🌌🌠
TWILIGHT
When the sun has gone just below the horizon, yet stll illuminates the sky, often with a wash of strange and beautiful colors.
DUSK
The darkest phase of the evening twilight just before full night sets in.
MIDNIGHT
Halfway between sunset and sunrise, the transition point when today becomes tomorrow
DAWN
Beginning at the first light of morning and ending when the sun breaks the horizon.

FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER

Sookies Magic Risotto
People, the recipe
OYVEY.
I make risotto on a semi regular occasion... so I did that.
Most peeps in my life allergic to shellfish
I did make scallops ..
Also, no WAY would you soak fish with your rice yuk. I did read that people made it as the book states and they were grossed out- too fishy.⬇️

I took this one for you @CBee 😘🦋📸

💚🐸💚🏹💚

UPDATE ON 🐸 my little visitor … I was worried about the heat… it‘s sitting on Diana … so it‘s safe 🐸💚

🏹 Diana, in Roman religion, goddess of wild animals and the hunt, identified with the Greek goddess Artemis. Her name is akin to the Latin words dium (“sky”) and dius (“daylight”). Like her Greek counterpart, she was also a goddess of domestic animals.
