[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]

E.E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

                                                      i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Quotes

Here are a few short phrases reverberating in my deepest self having to do with transitions, calling, hope, and rebirth.  (For any photographers reading this out there, please accept my apologies for decidedly less-than-professional photos!)  

At every turn in the road a new illumining is needed to find the way and a new kindling is needed to follow the way.

We are not called to be successful, we are called to be faithful.

 - Mother Teresa

A woman in childbirth suffers because her time has come: but when she has given birth to the child she forgets the suffering in her joy that a child has been born into the world. So it is with you: You are sad now, but I shall see you again, and your hearts will be full of joy, and that joy no one shall take from you.

- John 16:21-22
