“Last Night the Rain Spoke to Me”

“I went down not long ago”

“from the poem”

“The Fourth Sign of The Zodiac (Part 3) by Mary Oliver”

“All I’ve been working on is napping, and maybe being kinder to others, to myself.”

“Books! tis a dull and endless strife:”

“Un día habré dormido con un sueño tan largo que ni tus besos puedan avivar el letargo. Un día estaré sola, como está la montaña entre el largo desierto y la mar que la baña.”

“The fear of poetry is an indication that we are cut off from our own reality.”

“When you find yourself falling into the pit of anxiety, remember the ladder of hope that reminds you there is no reason to be afraid. There is still a way out of this, and you are still capable—not perfect, but capable—and you have permission to try to climb again. Even if your hands shake, and your knees are weaker from the fall, you can still trade your fears of tomorrow with hope for today: the courageous decision to climb on anyway out of the pit of anxious thoughts.”

“By night, Love, tie your heart to mine, and the two”
