“I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me.

I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair of the waves blown back
When the wind blows the water white and black.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.”
― T.S Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

“I have no advice for anybody; except to, you know, be awake enough to see where you are at any given time, and how that is beautiful, and has poetry inside. Even places you hate.”
― Jeff Buckley

“Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research.”
― Carl Jung

“Hungry? Thirsty? Tired and need a place to lay your head?

Need your shoe tied? A book read? A ride to baseball? New sheets for your dorm? A babysitter for your kids? A quiet cup of tea?

Do you need help navigating a problem? A heartache? A loss? Celebrating a win?

Want motivation? Validation? To be challenged? To be held? To be loved?

Call a mom.”
― Elizabeth Tambascio
