There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A good life of good days lived in the senses is not enough. The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet.

Annie Dillard, b. 1945

 Color - Caste - Denomination - 

These - are Time's Affair - 

Death's diviner Classifying

Does not know they are -

As in sleep - All Hue forgotten -

Tenets - put behind -

Death's large - Democratic fingers

Rub away the Brand -

Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms or books that are written in a foreign tongue. The point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live your way some distant day into the answers.

Rainer Maria Rilke, 1875 - 1926

 Today is a new day. You will get out of it just what you put into it... If you have made mistakes, even serious mistakes, there is always another chance for you, And supposing you have tried and failed, again and again, you may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

Mary Pickford, 1892 - 1979
