just some words i put together after the death of a friend....

my words couldn't postpone her exit.grief hits you right between the ribs.don't you hate when people ask if she knew you were there?the point is you knew.When her last breath waltzed from that space,my heart opened like a parachute.she didn't die...she simply found a silence she could call her own.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare;
it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets
you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept
oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most
interesting game in the world—making the most of one’s best.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

How can you explain that you need to know that the trees are still there, and the hills and the sky? Anyone knows they are. How can you say it is time your pulse responded to another rhythm, the rhythm of the day and the season instead of the hour and the minute? No, you cannot explain. So you walk. ~Author unknown, from New York Times editorial, "The Walk," 25 October 1967

Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

~ Robert Frost
