“ Our mothers and our grandmothers some of them: moving to music not yet written. ”
Everything want to be loved. Us sing and dance and holler, just trying to be loved.
~ Alice Walker
Expect nothing. Live frugallyOn surprise.become a strangerTo need of pityOr, if compassion be freelyGiven outTake only enoughStop short of urge to pleadThen purge away the need.Wish for nothing largerThan your own small heartOr greater than a star;Tame wild disappointmentWith caress unmoved and coldMake of it a parkaFor your soul.Discover the reason whySo tiny human midgetExists at allSo scared unwiseBut expect nothing. Live frugallyOn surprise.
Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.
Surely the earth can be savedby all the peoplewho insiston love.
