Longing

Ladder, a photo by rchoephoto on Flickr.


     We are impoverished in our longing and devoid of imagination
     when it comes to our reaching out to others. ... 
     We need to be introduced to our longings, because they guard
     our mystery.

If you miss the moment,

you miss your life.

Knowledge

     Knowledge implies ignorance of what lies beyond
     what is known. Knowledge is always limited.

Writing

     Write what disturbs you, what fear, what you have not been
     willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.

Hold On

     Hold on to what is good,
     even if it's a handful of earth.
     Hold on to what you believe,
     even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
     Hold on to what you must do,
     even if it's a long way from here.
     Hold on to your life,
     even if it's easier to let go.
     Hold on to my hand,
     even if I've gone away from you.

       Pueblo saying
