W.H. Auden, Collected Shorter Poems, 1927-1957

“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.”

~ Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

"When I am among the many I live as the many do, and I do not think I really think. After a time it always seems as if they want to banish my self from myself and rob me of my soul.”

~ Friedrich Nietzsche

Sometimes it is harder to recognise one’s own light than to see through the darkness of others.

Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes is worn out.

“In sane moments we regard only the facts, the case that is. Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is better than make-believe.”

— Henry David Thoreau, Walden

SNOWDROPS Do you know what I was, how I lived? You know what despair is; then winter should have meaning for you. I did not expect to survive, earth suppressing me. I didn't expect to waken again, to feel in damp earth my body able to respond again, remembering after so long how to open again in the cold light of earliest spring— afraid, yes, but among you again crying yes risk joy in the raw wind of the new world.

after so long how to open again in the cold light
of earliest spring—

Louise Glück

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.

~ Thomas A. Edison

Everything you’ve been through reshaped you; time pulled you in different ways.
You will always carry pieces of them with you, missing who they used to be or who you thought they were.
Deep inside you a part of you knows that you had to let go, its a grieving process that one has to endure.

❤️

Missing some people doesn’t mean you want them back.
It means they once mattered so much to you.
You don’t miss the harm and heartbreak but the memory of feeling like home; the version that felt safe before truth arrived.
Healing doesn’t erase the past.
It recontextualizes it.

“I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man’s self-respect is a sin.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Nothing but two dismal tallow candles, each in a winding sheet.

"So haunted at moonlight, with bat and owl and ghostly moth"
~ Elizabeth Shippen Green (circa 1902)

dear sky,
i know you've given me the proper balance of strength, agility, endurance and the grace needed to cross this turbulent sea of emotional storms... hold me aloft in your gentle winds and sustain me with your rain, as my wings are nothing without you.

🥀 love, bird
