Happy birthday to Sylvia Plath:

This is our misfortune
and maybe
our small grace:

we throw words at the dark
and the dark comes
back to us

— John Thompson

Friends, I passed my Viva.

I’m Dr Popa! ✨

#London , that was one of the craziest storms I’ve seen, and one of the most beautiful outcomes.

The wonderful Carl Phillips:

'I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of the hunger for life that gnaws in us all.'

― Richard Wright

“Let’s be hungry a little/ while longer. Let’s not hurt each other if we can.”
- Maya C. Popa from “Wound is the Origin of Wonder.”

'One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now.'

― Annie Dillard

“Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.
I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.”

― Langston Hughes

By Alex Dimitrov:

“Run your fingers through my soul. For once, just once, feel exactly what I feel, believe what I believe, perceive as I perceive, look, experience, examine, and for once; just once, understand.”

— Oscar Wilde

“This is how we see the world. We see it as being outside ourselves even though it is only a mental representation of what we experience on the inside.”

— René Magritte
