Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction"

Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, ”Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
-Mary Oliver "When I Am Among the Trees" excerpt

Just in case you needed a moment to breathe.

Change like this to a deeper roar?
What would it take my standing there for,
Holding open a restive door,..." -Robert Frost "Bereft"

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure. The process is its own reward.” -Amelia Earhart
