Solitude
Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other. Rainer Maria Rilke I don’t know that I could find a quote that better explains my marriage. We are a pair humans who absolutely love our solitude. We really don’t require much as lovers of solitude but we do have ourContinue reading “Solitude”

Don’t let making a living prevent you from making a life. John Wooden I have always loved the quote. I never knew who said it until today.

But You
There’s going to be days when you screw up. I don’t like those days, most of us don’t. On those days I want to crawl into a hole and hide until it all blows over. Believe it or not, I used to shame myself with my own weird self-punishing rituals like not allowing myself myContinue reading “But You”
