-excerpt- Names of citizens, workers, mothers and fathers, The bright-eyed daughter, the quick son. Alphabet of names in a green field. Names in the small tracks of birds. Names lifted from a hat Or balanced on the tip of the tongue. Names wheeled into the dim warehouse of memory. โ
So many names, there is barely room on the walls of the heart. *This poem is dedicated to the victims of September 11 and to their survivors. Names blown over the earth and out to sea. ๐๏ธ Billy Collins

Our housekeeping is mendicant, our arts, our occupations, our marriages, our religion, we have not chosen, but society has chosen for us. We are parlour soldiers. We shun the rugged battle of fate, where strength is born. ๐๏ธ Emerson, Self-Reliance ๐ธ Relief, Athens 510 BCE, cc ALT #poetry #phronesis
@rae-dahl.bsky.social โReal fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.โ . Chรถgyam Trungpa
