“Don’t wait until you “feel like it.” Don’t have a wishbone where your backbone should be. Sometimes,”

“Forgive yourself – You cannot hold on to mistakes you’ve made. If you do, it just makes you waste your time and blocks your progress. So forgive yourself. Give yourself a break. You’re not perfect, and it’s okay that you’re not. Nobody is.”

“Keep life simple – Too many times, we fill up our lives and schedules with things that are useless. Unnecessary decisions, unnecessary activities, checking your email too often or being on social media all day, trying to fill up your time too much with media entertainment, filling up your home with clutter and junk that you don’t need… keep it simple and you’ll find that life is more satisfying.”

“You have to want it. Not kind of want it, but really want it, and be motivated to take action. Only then does the future pull you towards it. You won’t have to push yourself as much, but you will be attracted to what you want.”

“Summer Ends”
I will not name you again.
I will not reduce you like a memory to your smallest parts,
little fantastic machine-heart slaving away its heat
little controlled burn
little smolder-fire wicking toward the dry brush.
I will not replace this moment with the next,
will not exchange you with clocks,
with steady breaths or the tsk-tsk of the nearest metronome
the pulse of lost touches that never made landfall.
I will not end when the summer ends,
this small, small moment bird-like in its nervousness
our bodies near touch-to-touch
there are new nervous octaves nested in my throat
which will be anything for you,
be bird for you,
be timepiece of wrists for you, be shadow and wind for you,
be jeans for you. Licks for you. Oh, summer ends
bemoaning its own misfortune. I sit near you
and the dusk comes on like the dizzy sweet sting of your cologne.
For you I could be the longest day, all of your sunlight,
if for me you made yourself coda,
made nightfall, made yourself nest.
