keeping incandescence

One can be described by the art they collect: it says, "this is who I am when I look inside and outside of myself."

These are the things that aid me in keeping incandescence, so to speak. They are Keats' and Frost's bright star: I wrap them around me and I am staid, reminded I am human, reminded I am small; and most of all reminded that the world is a large and beautiful messy mystery, and that I am in love with it.
