Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is the current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Meditations

It is good to be just plain happy;
it is a little better to know that you’re happy;
but to understand that you’re happy and to know why and how…
and still be happy in the being and the knowing, well
that is beyond happiness, that is bliss.
Henry Miller, The Colossus of Maroussi

So this bit of weirdness is a farewell. I have been instructed by my naturopath to give up sugar. Bye, bye VooDoo Doughnuts, cherry pie, chocolate cake, butterscotch pudding! Bye bye Junior Mints, Turkish delight, gummy bears! You were wonderful, and I loved you well.
I’ve stocked my pantry with dried fruit, and I’ve got these fine words to live by:
Badness you can get easily, in quantity: the road is smooth, and it lies close by. But in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it, and rough at first. But when you come to the top, then it is easy, even though it is hard.
Hesiod, Works and Days
I CAN DO THIS!
I will not die an unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which came to me as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which came to me as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
Dawna Markova
