Desperate times need desperate measures! Made this for instagram and got a couple of orders and a lot of appreciation. Since all of my most favourite people are here, I thought of sharing this here. I think in the age of AI people need proof that it is indeed human😬 #bsnmko-fi.com/chembarathi/...

There's a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn't change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can't get lost.

When planted in a bed
Drop your roots deep
Keep growing
And when being cut back
Feels too brutal
Drop the seeds of

Back in the Paleozoic, online wasn't invented yet
so everyone had to wander alone & miserable
through the volcanic wastes
or just glue themselves to a rock hoping
someone would pass by.
Now you can sob to an image of your friend a
continent away & be consoled.

Do not think me gentle
because I speak in praise
....
I am
a man crude as any,
gross of speech, intolerant, stubborn, angry, full
of fits and furies. That I
may have spoken well
at times, is not natural.
A wonder is what it is.
- Wendell Berry

Your condition gives you a unique perspective. Pour that into your creativity in whatever way you can, as slowly as you need to.

the joy in the realising
that I cannot be reached
without love as a token
without respect as a ticket
unless your purpose
is kind and clear
my walls are high
you won't get near
the peace in the receiving
this gift is by far the best
I have ever unwrapped.

every time i ever said i want to die By Andrea Gibson
A difficult life is not less
worth living than a gentle one.
Joy is simply easier to carry
than sorrow. And your heart
could lift a city from how long you've spent holding what's been nearly impossible to hold.

The trick in getting attention in instagram was to show my face and talk. Now, my poor brain don't know how to let go of that over stimulation. I have a new found respect for influencers. 😬
I called my husband at work to tell him I can’t stop thinking about having a cigarette, and he said, “That means you’re writing again! I’m so proud of you! Now have a piece of gum and get back to work.”
Is this grounds for divorce???
Nowhere I wish to stay crooked, bent;
for there I would be dishonest, untrue.
I want my conscience to be
true before you;
want to describe myself like a picture I observed
for a long time, one close up, like a new word I learned and embraced, like the everday jug,
- Rilke

🧶 Happy customer and all!! 🥰 The cat socks didn't work out for the intended recipient. I was making it for a man's feet and I missed asking the diagonal heel measurements. But they said they want to gift it to a friend whose feet size is one size smaller.
I saw an influencer talking about how her rich aunt is a person who celebrates simple things in life and even if she loses EVERYTHING she will be a happy person. My immediate reaction was "that is something you will never know and
Since all we know these days is the greed of the super rich and their flamboyant way of living, most people think that being rich and "down to earth" is some kind of virtue. It is just basic human decency ffs!
When you are not in the survival mode with respect to finance, the entire world is accessible to you at your will. It is not even worth mentioning. I don't really leave mean comments anywhere. So didnt feel like saying anything to that person. 😬

AN OCTOPUS HAS THREE WHOLE HEARTS
and sometimes I lie awake thinking about all that lub-dubbing
on the ocean floor and no one to hear it.
What kind of god gives a cephalopod
three but a human only one?
I want more thumps. I want more time.
I want to waste my love on everything

🧶 Sometimes when I make things, I have no expectation of anybody else loving or adopting them. But I have been proven wrong about this one so many times. It is one of my best sellers. This one is for a baby. So embroidered eyes.

Enough. These few words are enough.
If not these words, this breath.
If not this breath, this sitting here.
This opening to the life
we have refused
again and again
until now.
Until now

You are tired,
(I think)
Of the always puzzle of living and doing;
And so am I.
Come with me, then,
And we'll leave it far and far away--
(Only you and I, understand!)
You have played,
(I think)
And broke the toys you were fondest of, And are a little tired now;
- E.E.Cummings

Make
something wondrous.
I tell you
no matter what you have done
to your one life,
you wake one day
in the ripe air of September
and you see the light beneath
a door in autumn
and you let it come, the fear
behind the other fears, and you get to have a different, different childhood
#Poetry 💙📚👀
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so? I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

During the long middle:
conjugating a rivet
mastering tango
training the cat to stay off the table preserving a single moment longer than this one
continuing to wake whatever has happened the day before
and the penmanships love practices inside the body.

Cops are calling society elders and asking them to not let their kids go for the protest on 10th oct.
India is seeing something, and I hope unlike Indian Media the international media is more vocal about it.
Mudixi is scared, BJ party is scared
trains to dilli have been cancelled, 57 metro stations being asked to close down
we're seeing protestors are being taken off the trains while traveling to delhi, many protestors have been put under house arrest earlier in the week so they don't reach dilli.
I WISH I COULD SAY I FOUND POETRY
but it found me washed up
on the back porch in winter.
Bone tired. Even the deer had enough
of the cold. It let itself inside. Grabbed me by the waist. Took me to the water. Had me collect each piece
of my voice like fragments
of sea glass buried in

And some things
have the nerve to be getting started, clusters of tomatoes, stands
of late lilies-optimism
of the great stalks-imperial
gold and silver: but why
start anything so close to the end? Tomatoes that will never ripen, lilies winter will kill, that won't
come back in spring.

What can I say that I have not said before?
So I'll say it again.
The leaf has a song in it.
Stone is the face of patience.
Inside the river there is an unfinishable story
and you are somewhere in it
and it will never end until all ends.
