Catechism For A Witch's Child

When they ask to see your gods,
your book of prayers,
show them lines
drawn delicately with veins
on the underside of a bird's wing.
Tell them you believe
in giant sycamores mottled
and stark against a winter sky
and in nights so frozen
stars crack open,
spilling streams of molten ice to earth,
and tell them how you drank
the holy wine of honeysuckle
on a warm spring day
and of the softness
of your Mother
who never taught you
death was life's reward
but who believed in the earth
and the sun
and a million, million light years
of being.

"The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears." -Anon

”If you know someone who tries to drown their sorrows, you might tell them sorrows know how to swim” -Jackson Brown, Jr.

”Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound and how raindrops taste like tears without pain” - Anon

”Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" --Mary Manin Morrissey

The man who doesn't relax and hoot a few hoots voluntarily, now and then, is in great danger of hooting hoots and standing on his head for the edification of the pathologist and trained nurse, a little later on.

All right, sweethearts, what are you waiting for?
Breakfast in bed? Another glorious day in the Corps!
A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm.
Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune!
Every formation a parade!
I LOVE the Corps! —Aliens

You cannot believe in honor until you have achieved it, better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

~George Bernard Shaw

The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be; all human virtues increase and strengthen themselves by the practice and experience of them.

~Socrates
