Sometimes you don’t realize your
Own strength until you come face
To face with your greatest
weakness.
- Susan Gale
Anyone can give up,
It’s the easiest thing in the
world to do.
But to hold it together when
everyone
Else would understand if you fell
apart,
That’s true strength.
- Anonymous
Life will break you.
Nobody can protect you from that,
And living alone won’t either,
For solitude will also break you
with its yearning.
You have to love. You have to
feel.
It is the reason you are here on
earth.
You are here to risk your heart.
You are here to be swallowed up.
And when it happens that you are
broken,
Or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or
death brushes near,
Let yourself sit by an apple tree
and listen to the
Apples falling all around you in
heaps,
Wasting their sweetness.
Tell yourself you tasted as many
as you could.
- Louise Erdrich
