    Paulo Coelho
    “Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other.

    Generally speaking, these meetings occur when we reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. These meetings are waiting for us, but more often than not, we avoid them happening. If we are desperate, though, if we have nothing to lose, or if we are full of enthusiasm for life, then the unknown reveals itself, and our universe changes direction.”
    Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

    Paulo Coelho
    “I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved. I'm a housewife and a prostitute, both of us living in the same body and doing battle with each other.”

    Paulo Coelho
    “I’ve met a man and fallen in love with him. I allowed myself to fall in love for one simple reason: I’m not expecting anything to come of it. I know that, in three months’ time, I’ll be far away and he’ll be just a memory, but I couldn’t stand living without love any longer; I had reached my limit…

    Jacqueline Carey
    “I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.

    It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.

    Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.”

    “imagine the desert
    mothers, with hair tangled
    tighter than their theology
    and breasts that flowed milk
    and mystic wisdom. they
    knew how to draw the singing
    sigils in the sand, how to dig
    rough and bitten fingers
    into desiccated dirt for water
    to wet the lips of their young.

    women of hips and heft, who
    learned how to burn
    beneath the wild and searing
    sun, who made loud love
    against the star-flecked threat
    of night, who knew that strength
    is not always a matter of muscle.

    imagine your ancestresses,
    the prophetesses of the arid
    lands, before these starched
    traditions and pews too hard
    to pray from, who bled true
    ritual and birthed their own fierce
    souls at creation's crowning --”
    Beth Morey, Night Cycles: Poetry for a Dark Night of the Soul

    Brené Brown
    “Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed, and rare.”

    Brené Brown
    “There will be times when standing alone feels too hard, too scary, and we’ll doubt our ability to make our way through the uncertainty. Someone, somewhere, will say, “Don’t do it. You don’t have what it takes to survive the wilderness.” This is when you reach deep into your wild heart and remind yourself, “I am the wilderness.”

    “That's very noble of you, cautionary tales of hubris notwithstanding.'

    'Hah! Please. Find me a more universally REWARDED quality than hubris. Go on, I'll wait. The word is just ancient Greek for "uppity," as far as I'm concerned. Hubris isn't something that destroys you, it's something you are PUNISHED for. By the GODS. Well, I've never met a god, just powerful human beings with a lot to gain by keeping people scared. So fuck hubris! Punch the sun, baby!”

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
