Monday, June 29th, 2009

“We are not born all at once, but by bits.

Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth.”

For Me To Be Me

My left hand is held
by someone who knows less
and I am teaching

Both my hands must be held
for me to be.
