no matter what phase I’m in,
I’m still whole.”

“If you want to fly,
you have to give up the things
that weigh you down.”
~ Toni Morrison
A delicate fabric of bird song
Floats in the air,
The smell of wet wild earth
Is everywhere.
Red small leaves of the maple
Are clenched like a hand,
Like girls at their first communion
The pear trees stand.
Oh I must pass nothing by
Without loving it much,
The raindrop try with my lips,
The grass with my touch;
For how can I be sure
I shall see again
The world on the first of May
Shining after the rain?
~ Sara Teasdale
“Think what a better world it would be
if we all,
the whole world,
had cookies and milk
about three o’clock every afternoon
and then lay down
on our blankets for a nap.”
~ Barbara Jordan
“If you look at what you have in life,
you’ll always have more.
If you look at what you don’t have in life,
you’ll never have enough.”
~ Oprah Winfrey
“Never think that what you have to offer is insignificant.
There will always be someone out there
that need what you have to give.”
“We live in a world in which
we need to share responsibility.
It’s easy to say,
‘It’s not my child, not my community,
not my world, not my problem.’
Then there are those
who see the need and respond.
I consider those people my heroes.”
~ Fred Rogers
