For Friday...

Just a few quotes from my notebook that need posting...

The world is round and the place which seems like the end, may also be the beginning.

~Unknown

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

~Eleanor Roosevelt

I have found the secret to life: that if I love until it hurts, then there is no more hurt, only more love.

~Mother Theresa

...I know you are reading this poem listening for something, torn

between bitterness and hope

turning back once again to the task you cannot refuse.

I know you are reading this poem because there is nothing else

left to read

there where you have landed, stripped as you are.

~Adrienne Rich

...Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting--

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.

~Mary Oliver
