I’m cleaning out the virtual post-it notes on my desktop so here are some of the quotes I’ve put on them that I’ve really liked.
(This one I really like for going to Kenya and the poetry that will result from it.)
Take me to the places on earth
That teach you how to dance
The places where you can risk
Letting the world break your heart
And I will take you to the places
Where the earth beneath my feet
And the stars overhead
Make my heart whole
Again
And Again
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
This one is for Adria: “It turns out that I already have everything I need to be successful; I just have to do it. The necessary brains, courage, and heart are already present.”
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” Thich Nhat Hanh
“The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.” Eudora Welty
“The wound that can only heal with the sword that inflicted it.”
A prayer for myself: “What stands out most to me is the integrity and passion you bring and give to your audience.” and “What makes it work is that you put yourself into it.”
