-“Vedi come si finisce a leggere tutte queste poesie?”
-“Come?”
-“Pieni di dubbi, di incertezze, di domande.”
-“E a cosa serve la letteratura, sennò? a fare le interrogazioni o a fare gli interrogativi?”
-“Bho, è nel programma. A cosa serve?”
-“A liberarsi del luoghi comuni. A non dare niente per scontato. A mettere alla prova gli schemi.”

My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
Falsely yours
Bibliophile Inspired Necklaces
UK-based designer “Rio” from Literary Emporium specializes in creating handmade jewelry, stationery and gifts inspired by classical literature. With a degree in English and a lover of literature and beautiful books, the artist was compel to create homages for her favorite novels and quotes.
Her first literary creation began as single postcard featuring a famous quote from Wuthering Heights. Now “Rio” offers her expertise and bookworm passion into designing exclusive gifts, which book lovers will not be able to resist. Adorned with a symbolic necklace designated to each book (i.e., the owl in Harry Potter, the cage in Jane Eyre, the dashing bow tie in The Great Gatsby and more), each piece is attached to a postcard with a relevant excerpt. You can find her entire collection of bibliophile gifts in her Etsy shop.

Getaway
Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you’ll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you’ll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.

Flying over the Mystics in BC, Canada with Bradley Friesen
Paddling the far end of St Mary Lake in Glacier Park, Montana. Just behind me stood the remains of an old cabin, can’t imagine how it must have felt to wake up here.
