Lenore

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
― Frank Herbert, Dune

“I could not be a poet without the natural world. Someone else could. But not me. For me the door to the woods is the door to the temple.”
― Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays
