“If someone asked me “What are the signs of love?” I would have said without hesitation, It’s the familiarity and the removal of cost, And to find yourself not having to lie, and the embarrassment removed between you two, and see yourself acting in your nature without trying to be something else so she likes you, And that you two keep silent and the silence gets delicious, And that one of you two talk and listening gets delicious.”

— Mustafa Mahmoud

“I used to dream of drinking tea with you at night, I mean, to be partners in happiness and in joy. Believe me, my dear, it warms my heart, even if you are far away. Not because I love you less, because I love you more.”

— Mahmoud Darwish in a letter to Tamar Ben Ami

“God is feeding me and what I’m praying for is an appetite.”

— Flannery O'Connor, A Prayer Journal

“An “angel” is anything that carries out a mission for God. This includes forces of nature. […] Photosynthesis? That’s an angel. Gravity? An angel. Magnetism? Angel. The Midrash in Bereishis Rabbah (chapter 1) says than an angel only performs one job. That job doesn’t have to be destroying Sodom; it could be peristalsis, centripetal force or condensation.”

— Rabbi Jack Abramowitz, Angels (via he-harim)

Opening up the kitchen. Open shelves and a glazed door to the backyard deck give the kitchen a bright, airy feel. Salvaged marble slabs cover the counters.
