“One grey hair appeared on my head
I plucked it out with my hand.
It answered me: "You have prevailed against me alone -
What will you do when my army comes after me?”

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”

“TO ALL MANKIND
Speak kind words
to mankind
and the unkind
will attack you.
Speak common sense
using any of your senses,
and you will be attacked by
the senseless.
Speak truth,
and you will be attacked by
the untruthful.
Speak about absolutely nothing,
and absolutely nothing
will speak back,
but then nothing at all
will ever change.”
― Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Tis a Fearful Thing
‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –
to be,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.”
