you make me speechless

tongue so weak it forgets
what language to speak in”
― Rupi Kaur, Milk and honey

“I find comfort in the fact that the longer I'm in politics the less nourishing popularity becomes, that a striving for power and rank and fame seems to betray a poverty of ambition, and that I am answerable mainly to the steady gaze of my own conscience.”
― Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream

“Just as a household falls apart without emotional labor, so does politics grind to a halt if no one is actually listening to one another or reading the briefings or making plans that have a chance of working.”

“People do it,
some out of desperation,
others out of greed.

They steal.

The very powerful and clever might steal a whole house,
or a million dollars.
It's been done.

Love is the one thing the heart craves
and love is the one thing
you can't steal.”
― Mary Oliver, Felicity
