Bedtime Story Conservatory 68 03/06/2020
Hello everyone,
This is today's line, and my brain is paralysed to bring anything out. Maybe it's because I don't trust my own heart and brain today? Incubation is necessary today, maybe.

You might have already seen this if you follow my instagram, but here-
"Sometimes when the wind is blowing in my hair, I cry, because its coolness is too beautiful"

Today's reading is Dreams 1922 by Langston Hughes. Hughes (1901-1967) was an African American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright and columnist from Missouri. He was a key figure in the Harlem Rennaisance, a boom of African American culture predominantly in New York City in the 1920s. He is also cited as an innovator of Jazz Poetry.
"My seeking has been to explain and illuminate the Negro condition in America and obliquely that of all human kind"
The reading is very short, this was the one today which I read and immediately had a feeling in my gut.

Warmest wishes, lots of love to you today,
