botanica obscura #4
“botanica obscura #4″ by Kelly Angard
i wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
- excerpt from “The Waking” by Theodore Roethke

the most difficult task
Creativity means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Indeed, it may be the most difficult task in the world, for opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the doors to the mysteries of the universe.

one foot in sea and one on shore…
sigh no more, no more
one foot in sea and one on shore
my heart was never pure
and you know me
you know me.
lyrics from “Sigh No More” by Mumford and Sons
original line from Shakespeare’s, “Much Ado About Nothing”
