No one sees trees. We see fruit, we see nuts, we see wood, we see shade. We see ornaments or pretty fall foliage. Obstacles blocking the road or wrecking the ski slope. Dark, threatening places that must be cleared. We see branches about to crush our roof. We see a cash crop. But trees—trees are invisible. ~ from #theoverstory by #richardpowers 📚 #fiction #novel #plantblindness #americanfiction #pulitzerprize #contemporaryfiction #americanliterature #dendrology #nytbestseller #readnovels #booksbooksbooks #booksofinstagram #booksofig #bookdragon #bookstagram #booktoread #bookstagrammer #writerreads #smjbooksreadin2020 #ilovetoread #bookhoarder #booknerd #bookgeek #books4life #juudlife2020 #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bibliophile 17/52

#tbt to our trip to #morocco in 2018. In #casablanca we took an amazing tour of the #hassaniimosque مسجد الحسن الثاني and were gobsmacked by the contrast of the sheer size and intricate beauty of the #religiousart and #carving throughout the #mosque 🕌 We were #grateful for the #mosquetour because many such #housesofworship would be closed to us as non-Muslims. We spent the whole morning here before walking to our friend’s neighborhood to spend the rest of the day with her. 🇲🇦 #juudlife2018 #juudsinmorocco #mosquesoftheworld #moroccantravel #wewilltravelagain

I bought this #dress to wear to the #balletoperadeparis performance #balanchine on March 20, which didn’t happen ... so I’m wearing it to watch the company’s performance of #lelacdescygnes #swanlake posted on FB this week 🩰💕 Not quite the same, but it’s sure improving my #tuesdayafternoonathome 🩰 🇫🇷 #ballet #tschaikowsky #covid19 #covid19cancellation #pandemiclife #tedbaker #stayhome #juudlife2020 #dressupathome #opéranationaledeparis #parisoperaballet

During this time of #shelteringinplace I’m beyond #grateful for our dear #beatricegeorgianna who is such a sweet #velcrodog and #hotwaterbottledog and makes me feel so happy to be home to hear her snoring on my pillow all night long. 🐶 #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #dogsofinstagram #covid19 #stayhome #thedoggery #juudlife2020 #rubycavalier #hobbitfeet #socialdistancing #socialsistancingwithdog #flattenthecurve

Your lips were tight, your chin barely bobbed, your eyes committed to the plot of abyss through and behind me, but I tried, because even on the worst of all mornings, I wanted to trust something, even if it was you. Wanted your name to foretell a polishing. In the electric glaze of a mania-maze I felt a smooth baby shark swimming in my cerebellum and I kept saying, “I’ve taken that.” You landed on “Abilify.“ I said, “That one made me throw up, it made me sick.“ Monotone, you instructed, “You’re going to take it again.“ Through the slap of neon lights, to a face unmoving: “But I took it, it made me puke.“ You wrote the prescription. Maybe you were a mother. It was possible. Maybe you were dead. There are ways to be both. Maybe you once became a doctor to heal an unhealable fissure in your quiet and flaming past, or because you were curious, passionate, even kind. Now here I was, one of many puzzlebodies come to sit in your windowless room, rickety proof of a faulty universe, a Godless God, girl who couldn’t or wouldn’t be solved. There is a calculus to apathy. I retreated to my small room to sleep two days on a wiry bedframe on public sheets that had belonged to others’ private sweat. On the first day I swallowed your prescription and collaged a paper-mache journal. On the second day I vomited the Abilify on the carpet. When I returned to your office, you checked some boxes, made no eye contact, said, “well, now we know.“ ~ from #deardrstone in #odestolithium by #shiraerlichman 📚 #poetrycollection #poems #americanpoetry #americanpoets #contemporarypoetry #americanliterature #mentalhealth #womenwriters #readpoetry #booksbooksbooks #booksofinstagram #booksofig #bookdragon #bookstagram #booktoread #bookstagrammer #writerreads #smjbooksreadin2020 #ilovetoread #bookhoarder #booknerd #bookgeek #books4life #juudlife2020 #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bibliophile 16/52
