“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work. —Mary Oliver”
Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year

“The light that renders a crow incandescent in the afternoon is the same light that only minutes later tenders the gift of twilight, when colors fade and all the world becomes a crow.”
Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year

“It was completely illogical: as if part of me wanted him back, and part of me wanted him to disappear, and nothing in between would do. Or: I wanted my husband back, and I wanted the stranger he'd become to disappear.”
Maggie Smith, You Could Make This Place Beautiful

Margaret Renkl
“I stand at the window looking out, trying to remember the truths that nature always brings home. That what lies before me is not all
there is. That time is ever passing, and not only when I notice. That strife and pain are no more unexpected than pleasure and joy. That merely by breathing I belong to the eternal.”
Margaret Renkl, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year

“Was this my proudest moment? No. I was not my best self that night. I gave all the fucks, I thought. Why was I the one giving all the fucks? Where were his fucks?”
Maggie Smith, You Could Make This Place Beautiful
