“In Frank Lloyd Wright’s plans for the Guggenheim Museum, he tried out a number of colors, including ‘Cherokee Red’ and this lavish flamingo-by-night. Would Fifth Avenue be a different place with a pink Guggenheim?” [ via

His heart was growing full of broken wings and artificial flowers,” wrote poet Federico Garcia Lorca. “In his mouth, just one small word was left.” There were times during the first half of June when I was tempted to borrow those words to describe you, Cancerian. Now, thankfully, you’re moving into a much brighter phase. The buds that are about to bloom in your heart are very much alive, not artificial, and your wings, while not fully restored to strength, are healing. Meanwhile, your mouth is even now being replenished with a fresh supply of many vivid words.
—Rob Brezsny [And suck it, Lorca!]
