I didn't realize that you were a Sufjan Stevens fan! Carrie & Lowell is one of my favorite albums. My favorite song off that album is The Only Thing, but Death with Dignity is another favorite. Anyways, beautiful & touching diary entry. Just read your newest one. You have a really eloquent way of describing your dreams, (I'm a bit jealous of your writing skills)!

Despite being very much a noviciate of his body of work — as far as full albums go, I've heard just Carrie & Lowell + Michigan — I love it, and also feel that C&L is one of my favorite albums ever. The Only Thing is really great. And thanks for your kind words on my diary entry, Vashti, it makes me really happy to read. Personally, I admire the emotional honesty of your writing.

vashti, your most recent entry reminded me of this quote: “A certain recluse monk once remarked, ‘I have relinquished all that ties me to the world, but the one thing that still haunts me is the beauty of the sky.” (but in your case, the sea.) So much love

Wow. That perfectly encapsulates this feeling I couldn't articulate, this feeling of attachment to the sea, when I often feel detached from everything around me. It just made me feel like my life is now, right now & that everything in this world is something I can go see, like it's my birthright somehow. It made me think of my life in more serious terms. It made me feel small, but like my life was bigger,

more significant by virtue of being so brief. It was really transformative though I can't fully explain myself, but maybe some feelings are so big & intense they can't fully be spoken or written about. Thank you so much for sharing this quote with me; I won't forget it. In fact, I feel like I need to put it somewhere on my site so I don't lose it. Love & safety to you, forever ♡
