“I love my life's dark hours in which my senses quicken and grow deep,”Rainer Maria Rilke · Organic Quote T-Shirt

Clear sky, 2 a.m. You stepped out to look up for a minute and forgot to go back in.

Look once and it's a moon. Look again and it's an ensō, the Zen circle drawn in a single breath and left open.

Nothing fills it. The shirt shows through, the way the night sky does.

Organic cotton.

Wear it out to watch the sky. Stay till the last star.
