*what is and what should never be

I don’t hear your words: your voice reverberated against my body like another kind of caress, another kind of penetration. I have no power over your voice. It comes straight from you to me. I could stuff my ears and it would find its way into my blood and make it rise.

I am impervious to the flat visual attack of things. I see your khaki shirt hung up on a peg. It is your shirt and I could see you in it — you, wearing a color I detest. But I see you, not the khaki shirt. Something stirs in me as I look at it, and it is certainly the human you. It is a vision of the human you revealing an amazing delicacy to me. It is your khaki shirt and you are the man who is the axis of my world now. I revolve around the richness of your being.

…“Come closer to me, come closer. I promise you it will be beautiful.”

You keep your promise.

You carry your vision, and I mine, and they have mingled. If at moments I see the world as you see it, you will sometimes see it as I do.”

Anais Nin, in a letter to Henry Miller (via justalittlegreen)
