“How does any of us live in this world? One thing compensates for another, I suppose. Sometimes what’s wrong does not hurt at all, but rather shines like a new moon.”
― Mary Oliver, Dream Work

“Nature held me close and seemed to find no fault with me.”
― Leslie Feinberg, Stone Butch Blues

“I’d like to see poetry become as integral and common to life as music is. It would be nice to be able to enjoy a poem for a while—like a summer hit on the radio—in addition to enjoying a poem as an important, lasting work. I’d like to see poetry treated more like television. I admit, it sounds odd, but I’d love to see it understood as something available and enjoyable. It is. We should.”
― Richard Siken

“When we hear the sound of the pine trees on a windy day, perhaps the wind is just blowing, and the pine tree is just standing in the wind. That is all they are doing. But the people who listen to the wind in the tree will write a poem, or will feel something unusual. That is, I think, the way everything is.”
― Shunryu Suzuki, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind: Informal Talks on Zen Meditation and Practice
