    Every morn is the world made new.
    You who are weary of sorrow and sinning,
    Here is a beautiful hope for you, –
    A hope for me and a hope for you.
    All the past things are past and over;
    The tasks are done and the tears are shed.
    Yesterday’s errors let yesterday cover;
    Yesterday’s wounds, which smarted and bled,
    Are healed with the healing which night has shed.
    Yesterday now is a part of forever

    One day the sun admitted
    I am just a shadow.
    I wish I could show you
    The infinite incandescence
    That has cast my brilliant image!
    I wish I could show you,
    When you are lonely or in darkness,
    The Astonishing Light
    Of your own Being

    Mary Oliver
    You do not have to be good.
    You do not have to walk on your knees
    for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
    You only have to let the soft animal of your body
    love what it loves.
    Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
    Meanwhile the world goes on.
    Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
    are moving across the landscapes,
    over the prairies and the deep trees,
    the mountains and the rivers.
    Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
    are heading home again.
    Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
    the world offers itself to your

    Ha Jin
    You must hold your quiet center,
    where you do what only you can do.
    If others call you a maniac or a fool,
    just let them wag their tongues.
    If some praise your perseverance,
    don’t feel too happy about it –
    only solitude is a lasting friend.
    You must hold your distant center.
    Don’t move even if earth and heaven quake.
    If others think you are insignificant,
    that’s because you haven’t held on long enough.
    As long as you stay put year after year,
    eventually you will find a world
    beginning to revolve around you.*

    And when they try
    to clip your wings,
    tell you
    to sit down, shut up:
    rise.
    When they tell you
    you are too much this way
    and too little that way:
    rise.
    Remember you are falcon bones
    and phoenix wings,
    so fly.
    You are worthy

    Rainer Maria Rilke
    God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
    then walks with us silently out of the night.
    These are the words we dimly hear:
    You, sent out beyond your recall,
    go to the limits of your longing.*
    Embody me.
    Flare up like a flame
    and make big shadows I can move in.
    Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
    Just keep going. No feeling is final.
    Don’t let yourself lose me.
    Nearby is the country they call life.
    You will know it by its seriousness.
    Give me your hand

    How can we know which days
    will be the turning points?
    So long as we live,
    we gamble.
    Red.
    Black.
    Put it all on Number 11

    When I am lost, my instinct is to try to find a way back on to the path I was following. Wagoner suggests a different method: ‘Stand still.’ I guess if we want to find a way out of a forest or a painful situation, the first thing we must do is acknowledge that we are lost. And then listen to what’s happening around us so we can get our bearings

    We tend to see the endings of things as the only thing that was – but life is about the entire journey. Icarus flew too close to the sun and fell, yes. But Icarus flew. And that is not failure
