“Our Story"

Remind me again—together we
trace our strange journey, find
each other, come on laughing.
Some time we’ll cross where life
ends. We’ll both look back
as far as forever, that first day.
I’ll touch you—a new world then.
Stars will move a different way.
We’ll both end. We’ll both begin.

Remind me again.”
William Stafford, Stories that Could Be True: New and Collected Poems

“Hope is the heaviest weight a man can carry. It is the bane of the idealist.”
Raimundo Arruda Sobrinho

“Yes

It could happen any time, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.

It could, you know. That's why we wake
and look out - no guarantees
in this life.

But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.”
William Stafford

“The heads of strong old age are beautiful / Beyond all grace of youth”

“Before you have your dreams, your dreams have you, and every day pushes a night before it while the wilderness follows.”
