Two dancing souls, one dances with colors and lines the other with words: Jandy Nelson meets Lu Cordaro

I am a collector of words, of images, of artwork, of thoughts, of people I admire and I have a particular inclination towards the dancing souls in the world. Here come two of them, a poet and a painter/illustrator/dibujitosmaker, thank you both from my heart:

There were once two sisters
who were not afraid of the dark
because the dark was full of the other's voice
across the room,
because even when the night was thick
and starless
they walked home together from the river
seeing who could last the longest
without turning on her flashlight,
not afraid
because sometimes in the pitch of night
they'd lie on their backs
in the middle of the path
and look up until the stars came back
and when they did,
they'd reach their arms up to touch them
and did.”
