For some things there are no wrong seasons. Which is what I dream of for me. - Mary Oliver

There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But, who wants easier?

I stood willingly and gladly in the characters of everything - other people, trees, clouds. And this is what I learned, that the world's otherness is antidote to confusion - that standing within this otherness - the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books - can re-dignify the worst-stung heart.

I believe in kindness. Also in mischief.
