“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”
― Mary Oliver

April Hallelujah
“Spring is made of solid, fourteen-karat gratitude, the reward for the long wait. Every religious tradition from the northern hemisphere honors some form of April hallelujah, for this is the season of exquisite redemption, a slam-bang return to joy after a season of cold second thoughts.”
―Barbara Kingsolver

No Feeling is Final
“Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final”
― Rainer Maria Rilke

Plot Twist
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
― Lao Tzu


Birds and Boosters
The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.
- Carly Simon
