A Poison Tree
I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it with fears, Night and morning with my tears; And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft, deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright; And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine. And into my garden stole, When the night had veiled the pole: In the morning glad I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree. William Blake |
Forgiveness is at the heart of a healthy and happy life. Forgiveness protects relationships. It also protects the person who does the forgiving. Remember the story that psychiatrist and author Robert Coles tells
about Ruby, the little girl who integrated a Southern elementary school. Every day the federal marshals had to escort Ruby through a mob of adults who spat at her and called her hateful names. Remarkably, the five-year-old girl did not seem to be emotionally damaged by the ordeal, a fact that puzzled Cole until he discovered that Ruby prayed every day asking God to forgive her persecutors . . . . Forgiveness is a method for giving love. It is a way of saying, "I am going to let go of the wrong you did; I am not going to be bitter and I am going to go on loving you anyway." Bernie Siegel |
Margaret Atwood

Do You want me to tell You something really subversive?

A very relevant poem for me right now!
Easier Grows the Way
Looking ahead, the hills seem steep and the road rises up to the sky, But as we near them and start to climb, they never seem half as high. And thinking of work and trouble, we worry and hesitate, But just as soon as we tackle the job, the burden becomes less great. So never a hill, a task, or load, a minute, an hour, a day But as we grow near it and start to climb, easier grows the way. Helen Steiner Rice |
They never say to you, 'What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?' Instead, they demand 'How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?' Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him. - Antonie de Saint-Exupery

Summer: They used to call me anal girl.
