too soon
for you never know how soon
it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Trust the unfolding of your life. Many seasons will feel disorienting, but when the dust settles, you'll realize that you weren't being torn to pieces-you were expanding.
Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food... ...really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. . . Ernest Hemingway
On what is missing That you forget The sunlight on your hand.
The day is not just heavy thoughts It is also coffee and, a stray laugh overheard. The small green courage Of a growing leaf by the sidewalk.
Don't stare so long At closed doors That you miss how the window Is quietly shining.
A bird heckles the morning, Someone holds the door, The ocean remembers my name in foam. Life keeps slipping you gifts— The crust of warm bread, A text that simply says “I'm here.” Most of it, If you look again, Is really good stuff: Ordinary miracles in plain clothes.
They wait politely At the edge of your attention, Hoping you will finally look up and say, “Oh—there you are! Come in." Cloudia Charters
