love is not finite
but you must learn to draw it out with repetition and steadfastness and gentleness, tenderness too much like how soil cannot bear the same crops year after year without strain so too must your love change in shape with the seasons, and even if it must lie fallow for a while it is not gone, only resting. love is difficult, and it never gets easier, but we do improve with practice - Atlas

and as your circle of knowing expands
so, too, does your contact with the unknown it is difficult, vast and terrifying and oh, it is so lovely growing id sifficult - Atlas who could have imagined
that muffled sounds where there was once clear, sharp definition could send the world careening out of balance let's just say that waking up with (temporary XD) hearing loss is extremely disorienting?? - Atlas my mind returns again
to the thought of how light-years are both a measure of distance and a measure of time perhaps this is the way we should think of memory, the afterimages of times and places long gone moving slowly outwards, diffusing until there is nothing left but tiny pinpricks of light hmm - Atlas I hope that history finds the answers we couldn't
a way to have avoided this, even when it all feels so inevitable somehow. I hope that someone can still smile at the end of this still be okay, still remember what it means to reach out to someone who thinks differently with gentle hands. I hope that we can get past this that this is not as bad as it appears to be because we have survived worse things, I think though this particular challenge is quite new. I guess I hope for a lot of things and I will work towards making them reality, I swear I will but I cannot do this alone and so I have to hope. a (predictable) dark day for my country today - Atlas on my daily walk I saw
many trees encased in ice how strange, how natural I thought that despite everything they still survive it was a lovely sight indeed, it is cold
but the path beneath my feet sparkles with improbable light even in the darkest hours of the night sleet! annoying sometimes (usually when driving), but other times it's lovely - Atlas you are so far away
and yet I carry you with every step I take you live inside the words I speak the way I see the world around me and life is more beautiful because of it that's what it means to be family - Atlas a step forward is a step forward.
even if you climb a mountain by looping in upwards circles, you will eventually reach the top. (and every mountain after will seem a little more familiar) yes, it is better to climb - Atlas and sometimes I still check
all the places I once expected you to grow into it’s been years, I know but sometimes I still dream about everything you could have been all the places we could have made it to and I wake up missing you so much that I go looking for ghosts because at least this absence still feels like you I wonder how much I'll like this poem when I reread it?? - Atlas |
