“If you are in the garden, I will dress myself in leaves. If you are in the sea I will slide into that smooth blue nest, I will talk fish, I will adore salt.

And if you are angry I will come, calm and steady, with some small and easy story.”
― Mary Oliver, The Leaf and the Cloud: A Poem

“I can hear your whisper and distant mutter. I can smell your damp on the breeze and in the sky I see the halo of your violence. Storm I know you are coming.”
― Robert Fanney

“Be glad. Be good. Be brave.”
