I enjoy sharing information about people, places and ideas that are meaningful to me. In that spirit of sharing, I’ve created these pages with the hope that you will find insight and inspiration from these same sources.
Here you’ll find resources that enlighten and inspire, a bookstore featuring my favorite tomes, suggestions for creating your own affirmations, and quotes that provide motivation and perspective.
Do you have a favorite book, website or quote you’d like to share? Let me know, and I’ll post it on these pages!
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting–
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
