Sunshine all the time makes a desert.

These simple words are so profound & thought provoking.
Storms make roots deepen. Rain brings growth.

It’s getting darker now, oh it’s silent outside, just like my thoughts, honey, just like my mind.
when it hit above 43 degrees celsius in Sydney, weird things started happening. And by weird, I mean that bats. Just. Die. They can’t regulate their heat anymore. They just fall down and die. Loads of them. Birds stop singing, because it’s too hot to sing.
The world just goes quiet.
And there’s me, standing there, thinking: well, more people need to know about this. There’s the abstract effect of climate change, but there’s that back of the neck chill, that absolute atavistic *fear* that something has gone terribly, terribly wrong when *the birds don’t sing anymore*.
That’s what climate change is. Yes, yes, sea levels rising, increased instability due to food security and everything else.
But it’s going to get too hot for the birds to sing.
That should scare the fuck out of you.

The saddest word
in the whole wide world
is the word almost.He was almost in love.
She was almost good for him.
He almost stopped her.
She almost waited.
He almost lived.
They almost made it.
Tiny Stories (via jmma-simmons)
I had to ride my bike in the dark today and it got me hooked, like, completely. I’ve since been jogging in the dark, explored our garden in the dark and climbed the fence to our neighbours’ garden.
They have died of old age recently and ever since I can remember, they’d had this group of trees, weirdly shaped, crooked and home of a cat family when I was eight. So I went to those trees for the first time in my entire life and took a leaf as a reminder of my ability to go beyond my own limits.
And all of this might sound like nothing, might sound so trivial, but it almost means the world to me. A turning point in my life, everything’s changed in my head.
