If I don’t go to their funerals, how can I expect them to come to mine?

Honor your life and Honor your mother and your father are the same fabric. They say honor the seed from which we sprouted, what leans over us whispering, “Grow, grow!,” the home to which we are returning.

See what you can give.

I used to say Honor your insights. Now I need to say, Honor your life. Honor the part of you that is the poet, the artist, the lover, the romantic, the world-changer, the worker-with-us.

Honor your…life, creativity, curiosity, love, you. Write your self, attend your self, seek your self—the more you use, the more you have. Use, express, give life-time to your life, which is our life.

The poet’s chief work is to call out the poet in each of us.

I do not need to have the answer
The question will carry me
Further and further
All the way home.

Why seek ye an answer
When a question will take you farther
Go places no answer can dream?
