Deus.

God speaks to each of us as he makes us,

then walks with us silently out of the night.

These are words we dimly hear:

You, sent out beyond your recall,

go to the limits of your longing.

Embody me.

Flare up like flame

and make big shadows I can move in.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.

Just keep going. No feeling is final.

Don’t let yourself lose me.

Nearby is the country they call life.

You will know it by its seriousnes.
Give me your hand.

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

“Oskar? Over.”
“I’m OK. Over.”
“What’s wrong, darling? Over.”
“What do you mean what’s wrong? Over.”
“What’s wrong? Over.”
“I miss Dad. Over.”
“I miss him too. Over.”
“I miss him a lot. Over.”
“So do I. Over.”
“All the time. Over.”
“All the time. Over.”

I couldn’t explain to her that I missed him more, more than she or anyone else plain to her, because I couldn’t tell her what happened with the phone. That secret was a hole in the middle of me that every happy thing fell into.

...

I woke up once in the middle of the night, and Buckminster’s paws were on my eyelids. He must have been feeling my nightmares."

budapest shots.

gentle now a tender breeze blows
whispers through the Gran Torino
whistling another tired song
engines humm and better dreams grow
heart locked in a Gran Torino
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long
it beats a lonely rhythm all night long

(Clint Eastwood & Jamie Cullum)
