“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.” – Anatole France

Uproot Every Bitter Tree

“I will go into my heart and uproot every bitter tree.
It is tedious work — I can’t sun them with attention, or water them with worry.
Just break it down piece by piece.
This is fine and useful wood
to build the life I’ve always wanted.”
– Anna-Laura Sullivan

A playlist for the last of the summer’s warmth. (Oct 2024)
