"Not knowing when the dawn will come,
I open every door." - Emily Dickinson As we continue to navigate through this global crisis, remember that many communities all over the world are living through it alongside you, and keep them in your thoughts.
Please especially keep the people on the front lines – the EMTs, physician assistants, nurses, doctors, long-term care givers, firemen, police, scientists and medical researchers – in your thoughts. These are uniquely complex times, and I hope that you find peace and wisdom amidst them. Remember kindness and compassion first always, and that the power of empathy and hope knows no bounds. |

"What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." - Crowfoot Indian saying "I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers
From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams." - Percy Shelley, from "Cloud" |

The Great Affair
The great affair, the love affair with life, is to live as variously as possible, to groom one's curiosity like a high-spirited thoroughbred, climb aboard, and gallop over the thick, sun-struck hills every day. Where there is no risk, the emotional terrain is flat and unyielding, and, despite all its dimensions, valleys, pinnacles, and detours, life will seem to have none of its magnificent geography, only a length. It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between. Diane Ackerman ("found poetry" from A Natural History of the Senses) |
