Valentines On the Road...
Dear PenPal:
Just a note to send Valentine wishes from Jack Kerouac & me. . .
from Jack Kerouac wrote in On the Road...
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars."
Things I love for Valentine's Day:
· This dance by ballet dancer Sergei Polunin to Hozier's "Take Me To Church"
· To have heartbreak, one must have been in love... Poet Michelle Penaloza takes strangers for walks throughout Seattle to learn about their personal heartbreak and the poems were written up here and now make up this beautiful book, landscape/heartbreak.
· Speaking of heartbreak, you can adopt a hissing cockroach or scorpion in your ex's name at the San Francisco Zoo.
· In my part of the world, the Super Bowl didn't end the way many of us had wanted (congrats New England). But the best part about the Super Bowl, is you move one letter to the left and you have Superb owl. So here's your dose of cuteness today, sponsored by the #SuperbOwl, eight baby burrowing owls for your viewing pleasure.
· If you'd like to receive a real, in-the-mail postcard from me sometime during the year or next Valentine's day, email your address to: poetpostcards@gmail.com
May your Valentine's Day be filled with passion and stars, and may you agree to love yourself as well as the rest of the world, madly.
xo,
Kells
