Two Maple Keys

Later, I stumbled to my bed

All alone in the branches

I laid in the dark

Thinking about all of my friends and their changes

My friends have changed so much. Are changing so much. They don't think the same things or the same way anymore. They don't want the same things. They don't look the same. What do I look like? How have I changed? I have no idea. But I lie in the dark and I think about it.

This is so true.

I stayed home from work today. I will call you. You might be working but if you're not, we should talk.

"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."

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

"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
