Book cover for Wild Dark Shore
And within the sphere of my children’s courage, of their generosity of spirit, I found a way to be more. To ask of myself more.

Simon Sinek
“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”
Simon Sinek, Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't

“Sometimes the desire to be lost again, as long ago, comes over me like a vapor. With growth into adulthood, responsibilities claimed me, so many heavy coats. I didn’t choose them, I don’t fault them, but it took time to reject them. Now in the spring I kneel, I put my face into the packets of violets, the dampness, the freshness, the sense of ever-ness. Something is wrong, I know it, if I don’t keep my attention on eternity. May I be the tiniest nail in the house of the universe, tiny but useful. May I stay forever in the stream. May I look down upon the windflower and the bull thistle and the coreopsis with the greatest respect.”
Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays

“I thought:
maybe death
isn’t darkness, after all,
but so much light
wrapping itself around us—
as soft as feathers—
that we are instantly weary
of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes,
not without amazement,
and let ourselves be carried,
as through the translucence of mica,
to the river
that is without the least dapple or shadow—
that is nothing but light—scalding, aortal light—
in which we are washed and washed
out of our bones.--White Owl Flies Into and Out of the Field
Mary Oliver

Albert Schweitzer
“...But you must do something more. Seek always to do some good, somewhere”
Albert Schweitzer

Louisa May Alcott
“both were learning that beauty, youth, good fortune, even love itself, cannot keep care and pain, loss and sorrow, from the most blessed for into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and sad and dreary.”
Louisa May Alcott
