This pull quote comes across as faint praise, no?

My Little Corner of the World. How do you spend your day? When the question came to me I felt my answer was not quit right. Thought about it for some time. Ready now…”Linda, how do you spend your day?” “Book, Brush, and Broom.” #han-shan #coldmountain #monk #favoritethings https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9vn8wvMHP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A list of 35 of my all time favorite records. 35 because a friend of mine shared his with 35. Why not top 40? Couldn’t tell you. I can think of about 20 others I would put as “all time faves” - maybe I will add them and it will be 55. The listing is presented in no particular order - I don’t care to rank them but I will say Floral Green is probably closest to my heart.

This lively collection of essays and feature stories celebrates the novels, popular histories, magazines, movies, television shows, photography, and songs that have enticed Americans to learn more about our most dramatic historical era. From Ulysses S. Grant’s Memoirs to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, from Roots to Ken Burns’s The Civil War, from “Dixie” to “Ashokan Farewell,” and from Civil War photography to the Gettysburg Cyclorama, trendy and well-loved depictions of the Civil War are the subjects of twenty contributors who tell how they and the general public have been influenced by them. Sarah Kay Bierle examines the eternal appeal of Gone with the Wind and asks how it is that a protagonist who so opposed the war has become such a figurehead for it. H. R. Gordon talks with New York Times–bestselling novelist Jeff Shaara to discuss the power of storytelling. Paul Ashdown explores ColdMountain’s value as a portrait of the war as national upheaval, and Kevin Pawlak traces a shift in cinema’s depiction of slavery epitomized by 12 Years a Slave. Tony Horwitz revisits his iconic Confederates in the Attic twenty years later. The contributors’ fresh analysis articulates a shared passion for history’s representation in the popular media. The variety of voices and topics in this collection coalesces into a fascinating discussion of some of the most popular texts in the genres. In keeping with the innovative nature of this series, web-exclusive material extends the conversation beyond the book.   ASIN ‏ : ‎ B085KXVZ82 Publisher ‏ : ‎ Southern Illinois University Press; 1st edition (10 February 2020) Language ‏ : ‎ English File size ‏ : ‎ 4946 KB Text-to-Speech ‏ : ‎ Enabled Screen Reader ‏ : ‎ Supported Enhanced typesetting ‏ : ‎ Enabled X-Ray ‏ : ‎ Not Enabled Word Wise ‏ : ‎ Enabled Print length ‏ : ‎ 272 pages [ad_2]

Come back to me, come back to me that’s my request

This movie breaks my heart every single time..

JOIE DE VIVRE Inman: You are all that keeps me from sliding into some dark place. Ada: But how did I keep you? We barely knew each other. A few moments. Inman: A thousand moments. They're like a bag of tiny diamonds glittering in a black heart. Don't matter if they're real or things I made up. The shape of your neck, that's real. — Cold Mountain (2003) 🎞 Nicole Kidman (Ada Monroe) and Jude Law (Inman) in the photograph #modelcalifornia #joiedevivre #connection #ambition #selfdiscocery #coldmountain #judelaw #nicolekidman https://www.instagram.com/p/B-DBRlDoDUz/?igshid=1ju6vefj96dzd

Finished! Still processing this one, it's a difficult one to summarize. It's a novel about a confederate soldier who escapes from a field hospital & tries to make his way home without being caught; it also follows the woman he loves as she learns how to fend for herself after her father's unexpected death alongside another woman who has lived a much harder life than she. The book is filled with warring philosophies on humankind's responsibilities to others, our relationship to the natural world, the nature of happiness & its worth, & all sorts of other substantial themes. I found it a little difficult to engage with at times, but I'm so glad I stuck with it, it's a really high-quality piece of writing. #nofilter #noedit #book #books #bookstagram #reader #reading #bookworm #literature #fiction #historicalfiction #civilwar #coldmountain #charlesfrazier https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ab1ZDhh8O/?igshid=1cn9vos7gwct5

• Happy #InternationalWomensDay fellow fandom friends! • I’ll be the first to admit that the amount of favourite male characters I have in my heart outweighs the female ones. • I think we can all agree that when it comes to writing women, few in Hollywood and television do a good enough job even now. So the women we see onscreen are often lacklustre or tired stereotypes rather than full fleshed our characters. • That being said, when I think of my favourite fictional ladies, these are some of the awesome people that come to mind! There are many more that I could list, but for now, here are the ladies that own my heart :) I’m happy to say I’ve cosplayed at least two of these (Rapunzel and Elphaba) and I hope to add a few more to the list in the near future! • #Women #Anastasia #LegendoftheSeeker #CaraMason #Pocahontas #Disney #AdaMonroe #ColdMountain #Elphaba #Wicked #Titanic #RoseDawson #RoseDewittBukater #OnceUponATime #ReginaMills #KahlanAmnell #BlackPanther #Shuri #Ariel #TheLittleMermaid #MCU #AgentCarter #PeggyCarter #Tangled #Rapunzel https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwYiU4DevP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m6mvd1uhrmpj

Ada Monroe's hair appreciation post — Nicole Kidman in Cold Mountain (2003)

Waiting by the Willamette for Dad

“Imagining I am someone who has lost a child Seeing other people’s children play, I stand in the garden, shedding bottomless tears.”

-Ryokan

Portland is hot the heat transfers from asphalt to metallic building and back the smell of fried doughnuts travels swift and somehow makes the air heavier I see my reflection in cafe windows older now but I always feel the same especially approaching the Saturday market enveloped in its swarm of booths and people in between booths a formless mass wandering a maze. As I search for dad one air becomes many pad thai to bum piss to funnel cakes to arriving at the river where we will meet. This part could be clear and sacred but it is trashed with ratty sleeping bags stolen carts, empty Olde English bottles, soiled khakis and people so caked in the streets they are more streets than people. These scattered piles of detritus encroach on me, but there is nowhere to go where they are not. I inhale over the river desperate to pull its fresh movement up and through this lingering moment, or perhaps to permeate my hatred. Twenty minutes have never felt so stuck. Another homeless man comes over the grass with his house on his bike wearing a wife beater and blue jeans that appear beige and I cannot feel myself I cannot hear the geese screaming the amplified blues singer, screaming I cannot hear my heart in my chest This moment is entirely made of seeing my dad come towards his daughter and come towards his people. Suddenly hugged and held in his chest his tears reach a patch of my exposed skin I do not look up I stay embraced I see the homeless looking over and normal is no longer my hierarchy my eyes cease darting, soften and let down the whole river I held in here, this hug remembers that nobody desires to hurt and that because I am my father’s daughter these are my people too.
