A blend of raw beauty and heartbreaking vulnerability, Stillman's poetry is a profound exploration of what it means to feel deeply. Each verse guides us toward a deeper understanding of our place in the universe, and the healing potential that nature offers the weary soul.
"we are all born with playfulness-
and play we will
until we're taught that life is serious
there are very important things to be done
and we must focus not on the present
but on the future
happiness is stolen from us
and projected to an imaginary place
that we can never reach
we become lost in the illusion
that happiness resides in the future
a practical joke
we've played on ourselves"
