It is untrue that bravery can be measured by a lack of fear. It takes guts to tremble. It takes tremble to love. - Andrea Gibson

I know now it doesn't matter how well I say grace
if I am sitting at a table where I am offering no bread to eat

cause tonight Saturn is on his knees

proposing with all of his ten thousand rings

that whatever song we’ve been singing we sing even more.

Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.
