Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end.

Love is the only bow on life's dark cloud.
It is the Morning and the Evening Star.

Now I stretch and waken.
They are calling, calling me, and my heart leaps to greet them.
My forests my hair, the grasses my heavy eyelashes. They call me, and I waken.
My body bedecked with a million flowers,
And these many breasts of mine, the mountains joyfully rear their tips.
I long to suckle my...

On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.
