“I was just telling Claire about a guy I met in bread class. I hate him, but he could be my soul mate.”

“Please bring strange things.
Please come bringing new things.
Let very old things come into your hands.
Let what you do not know come into your eyes.
Let desert sand harden your feet.
Let the arch of your feet be the mountains.
Let the paths of your fingertips be your maps
And the ways you go be the lines of your palms.
Let there be deep snow in your inbreathing
And your outbreath be the shining of ice.
May your mouth contain the shapes of strange words.
May you smell food cooking you have not eaten.
May the spring of a foreign river be your navel.
May your soul be at home where there are no houses.
Walk carefully, well-loved one,
Walk mindfully, well-loved one,
Walk fearlessly, well-loved one.
Return with us, return to us,
Be always coming home.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”
― Anne Lamott

“We’d rather be alone than take on the role of life secretary and housemaid.” Or so my mother had always said. I wouldn’t know.”
― K.F. Breene, Born in Fire
