Lightly child, lightly.

What is it that I have to tell myself again and again?
That there is always a new beginning, a different end.
I can change the story.
I am the story.
Begin.

~ Jeanette Winterson, The PowerBook

  1. Nailed it…and yet, if we paused to realize that every action we take is a choice, it might seem paralytic. Better to just marvel – and with a resounding ‘yes!) – begin.

  2. “Again and again and again; return to the heart; follow now, the Golden Fleece; wake up to who you are, now, play your part; live at last a life of peace.” (from Lose Your Mind [and come to your senses]) on the cd You Are the Diamond, by Carole Isis 😉
