Quotes of the week
"Almost
everything: all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or
failure. These things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is
truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know
to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose." Steve Jobs
Anger makes you
smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

Poem of the Week
IX.
I go by a field where
once
I cultivated a few poor crops.
It is now covered with young trees,
for the forest that belongs here
has come back and reclaimed its own.
And I think of all the effort
I have wasted and all the time,
and of how much joy I took
in that failed work and how much
it taught me. For in so failing
I learned something of my place,
something of myself, and now
I welcome back the trees.
