Interviewer: What piece of advice would you give to Stephen Fry, aged 10.
Stephen Fry: You're not alone. Everything you feel is fine. Only feel guilty about things you have done that are mean and cheap and unkind. Don't feel guilty about what you feel, no matter what the world might think. Everyone is scared inside, not just you. That's why reading is so good. Keep doing it. Writers are people brave enough to make you feel better about being human because they're not afraid to reveal their own frailties, weaknesses, desires, failures, and appetites.

the feel of you

Reading Notes
I recently read The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides (Virgin Suicides, Middlesex), and almost from the moment I opened it I wanted to crawl in and wrap myself in the pages. I found these notes while cleaning today. So beautiful I had to write them down myself.
“There were some books that reached through the noise of life to grab you by the collar and speak only of the truest...

The Disappearing Pig from The Better Bacon Book by Open Air Publishing
We just released our 4th title, The Better Bacon Book. Check out this video where Tom Mylan, from Brooklyn’s The Meat-Hook, butchers a pig.
If you love Bacon, you’ll buy the book (link opens in iTunes App Store)
If you love me, you’ll reblog this post :)
This video makes me hungry for flesh.

“You’re an artist, you know how beautiful the world is. I think the goal is to try and see how the meaning of it all is to just continually let it pass through you, which is a super active and difficult thing to do. The doubts and the dissatisfaction is all part of it, but I think there is a way out and, as an artist, in many ways you have a heads up because you can see the spaces in between...

This sounds lovely
Let This Darkness Be a Bell Tower
Quiet friend who has come so far,
feel how your breathing makes more space around you.
Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, such intensity of pain?
If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine.
In this uncontainable night,
be the mystery at the crossroads of your...

I Would Live In Your Love
I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul as it leads.
Sara Teasdale
