It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things. - Georgia O'Keeffe burnt orange poppy detail with black background

Simple days, under a big sky.

Blushing.

if you're in pitch blackness, all you can do is sit tight until your eyes get used to the dark. - haruki murakami white peony against a black background

small sketches
hidden in the margins
of beloved books
lost kisses planted...
the seeds of dreams

I relinquish dreams,
fulfilled, unfulfilled,
empty my pockets
of "what-ifs"
and walk free

It’s the less in things, the nakedness, that holds my gaze now

Esther Mahlangu (b.1935), South African Ndebele artist known for her bold, large-scale paintings that reference her Ndebele heritage #WomensArt

I belong to kind ones, to passionate ones, to ones that see magic.

So often we forget how powerful we can be. Words can inspire movements. Love can start the revolution. Everything we do matters.

There are songs that save you, and songs that break you open.

I will blossom again. I will be wilder than a spring.

Women are dance, a poem, a revolution.
