"what keeps you from ... living your life like a painful and beautiful day in the history of a great gestation?"
Rilke
We are alive. And now the work is to be gentler with ourselves and with the world. I want such a sweet life for you. I want the fierceness of attention, of the light coming over the hill, of your own hand bringing a cup to your mouth. Of love, which will abide so much longer than the fire. Molly McCully Brown, from Places I've Taken My Body: Essays
Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair— Clasp your flowers to you
∆ T. S. Eliot, from “La Figlia che Piange,” in The Waste Land, Prufrock and Other Poems (Dover Publications, Inc., 1998)
“Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light."
