I want to get lost in the twilight.

Poetry was my first love. Reading this gave me chills. I want to keep writing so one day I can also get lost in the twilight. ✨

ON TWILIGHT by Mary Ruefle

I read the poem of a student and in the poem God wandered through the room picking up random objects – a pear, a vase, a shoe – and in bewilderment said, “I made this?”. Apparently God had forgotten making anything at all. I awarded this poem a prize, because I was a judge of such matters. I was not really awarding the student, I was awarding God; I knew someday the student would pick up his old poem and say in bewilderment, “I made this?”, and at that moment his whole world would be lost in the twilight, and when you are finally lost in the twilight, you cannot judge anything.

I tell stories about my experience of being alive. Perpetually day dreaming of reading and writing by the beach. Dotting dog mom.
