“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”
quote by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
open me–
i will exhale upon your touch
and unlock
that which lies within
someone, a very long time ago, carved circular celtic braids into a rose-colored piece of stone–
after it was done, did he run his hands gently upon the surface of his work with love and tenderness?
i like to think that he did
i fly amid his thoughts–
safely sleeping
in hidden alcoves of worn memories
in her blindness,
it was the bright sounds
and the faithful shadows
that would guide her restless soul
the beauty of decay and neglect
can sometimes bring the comfort
of peace and acceptance
