If you want a place in the sun, you’ve got to put up with a few blisters.

Abigail Van Buren (Pauline Phillips), “Dear Abby”

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~ Ray Bradbury

When it’s over, I want to say:

All my life I was a bride married to amazement.

I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

~ Mary Oliver

May she rest in peace
