“… to speak the truth as I see it and share not just my triumphs, not just the things that felt good, but the pain, the intense, often unmitigated pain… to share how I know survival is survival and not just a walk throught the rain.”

And I also saw the hazy light
That loomed out of the darkness, enlightening
My heart, which soars beyond life,
Shedding its burden of tears.
That great wind overturned
My calm existence; and ancient sorrow …
Earth's solitary things, glowing
Like an unconscious gaze of night,
Like a tear's dead light, felt none
Of that tragic gust, which ruffled
Only my soul! O lofty wind!
Wind of Prophecy and Exaltation!
Wind that blows in waves of mystery,
Stirring me up, making me ecstatic!
I'll say loudly or softly however I'm able
with wide-open mouth or already choking
the words ocean or woman
slowly and ever slower almost in slow motion
woman ocean
then almost as just a vague notion
ocean woman …
“Nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small it takes time - we haven't time - and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.”

One day a friend, an older and more experienced man, said: "For me your problem is simple, you are afraid that if you put your feet on the ground, roots will grow for you". It was like a revelation for her! Ever since she was little, that nightmare haunted her: ...
A stagecoach passed by on the road and went on;
And the road didn’t become more beautiful or even more ugly.
That’s human action on the outside world.
We take nothing away and we put nothing back, we pass by and we forget;
And the sun is always punctual every day.
Alberto Caeiro
