"Take a deep breath.

Do not smart off to a policeman.

Do not step off the curb until you can walk all the way across the
street. From the curb you can study the pedestrians who are trapped
in the middle of the crazed and roaring traffic.

Be good.

Walk down different streets.

Backwards."

~ Ron Padgett

I have had it with perfection.
I have packed my bags,
I am out of here.
Gone.

~ Kilian McDonnell

Inside everyone
is a great shout of joy
waiting to be born.

~ David Whyte

"Be joyful though you have considered all the facts."

~ Wendell Berry
