“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.”

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.”

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”

with your one wild and precious life?”

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”
