"My mother always closes her bedroom drapes tight
before going to bed at night.
I open mine as wide as possible.
I like to see everything, I say.
What’s there to see?
Moon. Air. Sunrise.
All that light on your face in the morning. Wakes you up.
I like to wake up."
- Anne Carson, from “The Glass Essay” (via weissewiese)
