for those of you who appreciate poetry, i came across this poem a little while ago and it really spoke to me, especially the bit about the language door and love window. these are good words to hear when you are constantly faced with a language barrier. and i've found them to be true.
there is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of spirit on the body. seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. and the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling! at night, i open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. breathe into me. close the language door and open the love window. the moon won't use the door, only the window.
