Nayyirah Waheed

 if the ocean can calm itself

so can you

we are both salt water

mixed with air

I'd like to memorize this, it's kind of loose in my mind right now.

It is a good reminder.

I worked on this one for a little while one night while I was folding laundry in my bedroom. I remember standing at the foot of my bed, it was dark outside. What is it about trying to memorize the words and the physical actions that tie together so closely in memory? It's magical, somehow.
