a little lesson i find sublime
“Live life fully while you’re here.
Experience everything.
Take care of yourself and your friends.
Have fun, be crazy, be weird.
Go out and screw up!
You’re going to anyway,
so you might as well
enjoy the process.
Take the opportunity to learn
from your mistakes:
find the cause of your problem
and eliminate it.
Don’t try to be perfect;
just be an excellent example of being human.”
~ Anthony Robbins (b. 1960); self-help writer, speaker
The thing Is
to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you’ve held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.
