When Winter threatens to drown me I look to The Lion King to throw me a life ring.

"I know that the night will end and that the sun will rise.
I know that the clouds will clear and that the sun will shine."

Yes, you inspired me to listen to that song right now! And just remember that it makes the rare sunny days so much more amazing.

I don't mind the external greyness as much as I need hope for the internal. :)

"You have strength enough. What you love, you will love. What you undertake, you will complete. You are a fulfiller of hope; you are to be relied on."

- Ursula K. Le Guin

"The only woman awake is the woman who has heard the flute."

“Female friendships that work are relationships in which women help each other belong to themselves.”

― Louise Bernikow

"In the psyche, the bear can be understood as the ability to regulate one's life, especially one's feeling life. Bearish power is the ability to move in cycles, be fully alert, or quiet down into a hibernative sleep that renews one's energy for the next cycle. The bear image teaches that it is possible to maintain a kind of pressure gauge for one's emotional life, and most especially that one can be fierce and generous at the same time. One can be reticent and valuable. One can protect one's territory, make one's boundaries clear, shake the sky if need be, yet be available, accessible, engendering all at the same time."

- Clarissa Pinkola Estes

“There was a time when you were not a slave, remember that. You walked alone, full of laughter, you bathed bare-bellied. You say you have lost all recollection of it, remember . . . You say there are no words to describe this time, you say it does not exist. But remember. Make an effort to remember. Or, failing that, invent.”

― Monique Wittig
