Literary tattoos
http://www.contrariwise.org
I have spent an hour exploring this site and I am about to return to it.
Some of you will be fascinated. Others will wonder the purpose.
I wonder if there are words that define me enough that I would want them tattooed on me. "Quod me nutrit me destruit" is a prayer I'm trying to get away from. "Love is the law, love under Will" feels too powerful to bind myself to. "Alis volat propiis?" "Sometimes when you fall, you fly?"
The only line that really stays with me, though, to the point where I may try it with a pen and then henna to see:
I finally realized
A parachute over me
