Look, it’s spring. And last year’s loose dust has turned
into this soft willingness. The wind-flowers have come
up trembling, slowly the brackens are up-lifting their
curvaceous and pale bodies. The thrushes have come
home, none less than filled with mystery, sorrow,
happiness, music, ambition.
And I am walking out into all of this with nowhere to
go and no task undertaken but to turn the pages of
this beautiful world over and over, in the world of my mind.

Therefore, dark past,
I’m about to do it.
I’m about to forgive you
for everything.
“A Settlement” by Mary Oliver from What Do We Know, Poems and Prose Poems
Stop being tormented by everyone else’s reaction to you.
– Joyce Meyer
“Taking stock of your life requires some effort. You actually have to slow down. You have to take a step back. And you have to be really honest with yourself about how you are living and why. That process is hard for a lot of people. We don’t want to slow down… that seems weak. We don’t want to have to stop what we’re doing to think about it. And more than anything else being honest with ourselves sucks because it means we’re going to have to own up to our own shit. We’re going to have to look in the mirror and admit that in some aspects of our lives we’re off track.”
– Clark Patrick
“And the days that I keep my gratitude higher than my expectations, I have really good days.”
