Let it come, as it will, and don't be afraid. God does not leave us comfortless, so let evening come.

Be a good steward of your gifts. Protect your time. Feed your inner life. Avoid too much noise. Read good books, have good sentences in your ears. Be by yourself as often as you can. Walk. Take the phone off the hook. Work regular hours.

Let it come, as it will, and don't be afraid. God does not leave us comfortless, so let evening come.

Everyone longs for love's tense joys and red delights.

A poet's job is to find a name for everything: to be a fearless finder of the names of things.

There's just no accounting for happiness, or the way it turns up like a prodigal who comes back to the dust at your feet having squandered a fortune far away.

I am the one whose love overcomes you, already with you when you think to call my name.
