“The Waking” I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do To you and me, so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go.” ― Theodore Roethke, The Collected Poems

“When a person shows you their true colors, when they can’t give you anything, walk away from them. No, run away from them and never look back.”
“My greatest joy was always to see my children smile, hear them laugh at my jokes, feel them hold my hand as we danced across the floor. My greatest pain was when they could not smile, when they lost the ability to laugh and when they forgot how to dance.”
“You should take some responsibility for the way you present yourself. But you should not be hung up on your looks, whether you are ugly or handsome, because it isn’t an achievement.”
