"When Hades decided he loved this girl
he built for her a duplicate of earth,
everything the same, down to the meadow,
but with a bed added.
Everything the same, including sunlight,
because it would be hard on a young girl
to go so quickly from bright light to utter darkness

Gradually, he thought, he’d introduce the night,
first as the shadows of fluttering leaves.
Then moon, then stars. Then no moon, no stars.
Let Persephone get used to it slowly.
In the end, he thought, she’d find it comforting.A replica of earth
except there was love here.
Doesn’t everyone want love?

He waited many years,
building a world, watching
Persephone in the meadow.
Persephone, a smeller, a taster.
If you have one appetite, he thought,
you have them all.

Doesn’t everyone want to feel in the night
the beloved body, compass, polestar,
to hear the quiet breathing that says
I am alive, that means also
you are alive, because you hear me,
you are here with me. And when one turns,
the other turns"

I'm new here. Can anyone explain what's the purpose of Jamaa?

Finally I let the trying 🤔just lipping going on and thankful to Allah giving me

this is what had happened after i finished book a little life

Love is like a seed; it thirsts for care, and the more you love, the more it grows until it bears fruit. The true essence of love is passion and respect—without them, even the most beautiful body is just an empty shell

Your Brain Edits the Footage!!!!

Your brain isn't a camera. It never was. It picks what matters, skips the rest, and sometimes edits the footage without telling you. That's how you get through the day and it's also how you get things wrong. So what you see? It's not always what's there. So next time you're totally sure you saw something, pause. Your brain was just doing its job, and its job isn't to be perfect. See you next time!!
