The Layers of Love is a home for poetic musings, ramblings and every so often an insightful feeling or thought from the mind and heart of a poet living in a lost, superficial, and capitalistic society. The hope is to bring some beauty and light but also fully linger in the dark corners and places of confusion and uncertainty, so we might learn to be fuller humans, with a capacity for deep love and unimagined possibilities.
From the Masters
Shelly said a word in Salish that I did not recognize…that word means ‘earth-dream’. And depending upon how you use it, it means we, the people, are dreaming the earth into being. And it also means the earth is dreaming us, the people, into being. We are dreaming each other. And making each other real.
Sherman Alexie
By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.
Franz Kafka
Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
