Abraham // Sufjan Stevens

“Abraham, put off on your son
Take instead the ram
Until Jesus comes”

What soul-wrenching mourning and such sweet relief to have lost your most prized one in your hands, only to gain them back again. That delicate and most humble substitute, stretching across stumps as if to say love cannot be overcome. Not then. Not now. Not ever.

Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens

(via 52hearts)

Perhaps we don’t like what we see: our hips, our loss of hair, our shoe size, our dimples, our knuckles too big, our eating habits, our disposition. We have disclosed these things in secret, likes and dislikes, behind doors with locks, our lonely rooms, our messy desks, our empty hearts, our sudden bursts of energy, our sudden bouts of depression. Don’t worry. Put away your mirrors and your beauty magazines and your books on tape. There is someone right here who knows you more than you do, who is making room on the couch, who is fixing a meal, who is putting on your favorite record, who is listening intently to what you have to say, who is standing there with you, face to face, hand to hand, eye to eye, mouth to mouth. There is no space left uncovered. This is where you belong.
— Sufjan Stevens (via rachelalex)
