the last day of february

"While I still get hooked at times

 by self-judgement and negative thoughts, 

I have learned to be grateful for the good moments 

and a bit more graceful during the difficult ones, 

knowing that all things in life come and go."

                                    

 -Elisha Goldstein, 'Uncovering Happiness'

Santa Barbara, 1978

Me, my brothers, and my dad.

wednesday

Let everything happen to you.

Beauty and terror,

Just keep going.

No feeling is final.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

compositions

saturday

I heard a voice that told me I'm essential.

How all my fears are limiting my potential.
Said it's time to step into the light and
use every bit of the power I have inside.

-India Arie
