We are all instruments pulling the bows across our own lungs. Windmills, still startling in every storm. Have you ever seen a newborn blinking at the light? I wanna do that every day. I wanna know what the kite called itself when it got away, when it escaped into the night... Andrea Gibson
About This Quote

We are all instruments pulling the bows across our own lungs. Windmills, still startling in every storm. Have you ever seen a newborn blinking at the light? I wanna do that every day. I wanna know what the kite called itself when it got away, when it escaped into the night and saw everything with its own eyes.

I want to be like that baby and see the world with no past and no future and no thoughts of yesterday or tomorrow. I want to feel like that baby and know what’s around me is real, even if no one else does.
