I long for the bulbs to arrive, for the early autumn chores are melancholy, but the planting of bulbs is the work of hope and is always thrilling Picture Quote #1

The ambience here is order and beauty. That is what frightens me when I am first alone again. I feel inadequate. I have made an open place, a place for meditation. What if I cannot find myself inside it? Picture Quote #1

Old age is not an illness, it is a timeless ascent. As power diminishes, we grow toward the light Picture Quote #1

I feel happy to be keeping a journal again. I’ve missed it, missed naming things as they appear, missed the half hour when I push all duties aside and savor the experience of being alive in this beautiful place Picture Quote #1

Pain can make a whole winter bright, like fever, force us to live deep and hard Picture Quote #1

We have to believe that every person counts, counts as a creative force that can move mountains Picture Quote #1

The gift turned inward, unable to be given, becomes a heavy burden, even sometimes a kind of poison. It is as though the flow of life were backed up Picture Quote #1

I have never written a book that was not born out of a question I needed to answer for myself Picture Quote #1

A body without bones would be a limp impossible mess, so a day without steady routine would be disruptive and chaotic Picture Quote #1

Revision is not going back and fussing around, but going forward into the process of creation Picture Quote #1

It is dark now. The snow is deep blue and the ocean nearly black. It is time for some music Picture Quote #1

It is a waste of time to see people who have only a social surface to show. I will make every effort to find out the real person, but if I can’t, then I am upset and cross. Time wasted is poison Picture Quote #1

Does one come to enjoy even the hardships that help make one the person one is? Or is it that the past becomes a legend to be remembered with laughter? Picture Quote #1

A man with a talent does what is expected of him, makes his way, constructs, is an engineer, a composer, a builder of bridges. It’s the natural order of things that he construct objects outside himself and his family. The woman who does so is aberrant. We have to expiate for this cursed talent someone handed out to us, by mistake, in the black mystery of genetics Picture Quote #1

Does anything in nature despair except man? An animal with a foot caught in a trap does not seem to despair. It is too busy trying to survive. It is all closed in, to a kind of still, intense waiting. Is this a key? Keep busy with survival. Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go Picture Quote #1

I would like to believe when I die that I have given myself away like a tree that sows seed every spring and never counts the loss, because it is not loss, it is adding to future life. It is the tree’s way of being. Strongly rooted perhaps, but spilling out its treasure on the wind Picture Quote #1

The more our bodies fail us, the more naked and more demanding is the spirit, the more open and loving we can become if we are not afraid of what we are and of what we feel. I am not a phoenix yet, but here among the ashes, it may be that the pain is chiefly that of new wings trying to push through Picture Quote #1
