The world is violent and mercurial....it will have its way with you. WE are saved only by love; love for each other and the love we pour into the art we feel compelled to share; being a parent, being a writer, being a painter, being a friend. Tennessee Williams.
I love this quote. And today following the weekend's Valentines Day, I am thinking about it a lot. Because I believe, I comfort myself with the knowledge that, as mushy as it sounds, love for each other and ourselves allows compassion and forgiveness for the larger world, whatever our relationship.
Here's another quote.
People will forget what you did,
People will forget what you said,
but people will never forget how
you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
I like to think it takes longer to forget....I think feelings leave an imprint which in my memories opens the door to what was said, what was done...a duler echo then feelings.
and also from Maya Angelou
You may not control all the events that happen to you
but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
I like that...choose not to be reduced or diminished. Choice!
and lastly,
I did what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.
Maya Angelou
The growth mindset. I'm inspired.
