Die kleinmütige Frau 

baut Käfige 

für alle die sie 

kennt. 

Die weise Frau hingegen, 

die den Kopf einziehen muss, 

wenn der Mond tief steht

lässt die ganze Nacht lang

Schlüssel fallen

für all die 

schönen

ungestümen

Gefangenen.

(Glennon Doyle)

 

"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)
