E. L. Konigsburg, author of beloved children’s titles The View from Saturday, A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver, and, most famously, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, has died, at eighty-three.

I always remain a girl amazed. In the years between you could have had your pick, still you chose me. Such poetic fate only God could have orchestrated. And here I am cradling your curly head of hair, watching you deep in slumber, smiling so peacefully in my arms. Your warm hands enveloping mine. How could I look away, how could I fall asleep willingly? Each breath you take is so precious. Our story. The time and distance it took to get to this moment.

You are a prayer, answered.

unicornology:

“Most of us have experienced being on the edge of joy only to be overcome by vulnerability and thrown into fear. Until we can tolerate vulnerability and transform it into gratitude, intense feelings of love will often bring up the fear of loss.

If I had to sum up what I’ve learned about fear and joy, this is what I would say: The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It’s our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows. We’re afraid to lose what we love the most, and we hate that there are no guarantees.

We think not being grateful and not feeling joy will make it hurt less. We think if we can beat vulnerability to the punch by imagining loss, we’ll suffer less. We’re wrong. There is one guarantee: If we’re not practicing gratitude and allowing ourselves to know joy, we are missing out on the two things that will actually sustain us during the inevitable hard times.”

— Brené Brown, via one of the best people in the world.

Alejandro Guijarro photographs the chalkboards of some of the brightest minds in quantum physics for his continuing series Momentum. He went to research facilities like CERN and many of the top universities in the world to find them.

conflictingheart:

Do not let a moment go by that doesn’t remind you
that your heart beats thousands of times a day
and that there are enough gallons of blood to make every one of us an ocean.
Do not settle for letting these waves settle and for the dust to collect in your veins.
