'EDIT YOUR LIFE FREQUENTLY AND RUTHLESSLY. 
IT’S YOUR MASTERPIECE AFTER ALL.'

'Ten years from now, make sure you can say that you chose your life, 
you didn’t settle for it.'

'Have patience with everything unresolved.
Love it all.
The confusion. The mess. The raw, red rims of your eyes. 
Love the experience of being reborn. Love the experience of watching the old way of life die. Watch everything burn. Watch everything go. Don’t be afraid.
This. This is how you find your way. You don’t notice the changes as they come. 
You just wake up, one bright morning — sky the color of robin’s eggs — 
and you realize that you are there. 
And you open the door and smell the restless air and say a prayer of profound thanks.
Live the questions. 
And, perhaps, as Rilke wrote a hundred and ten years ago, 
we cannot live the answers. Yet.'

Transformation- poetry

By Lisa Tolbert
I’ll skip a page because I can.
The page will wait for me
as I wait for you.
In quiet,
in calm,
in stillness,
in trust.
Of darkness and light,
Of ugliness and beauty.
All of the contrasts
in life in me
converge
and I will wait for you.
In hours dark
and quiet deep in the night,
There is a fullness
that swallows the emptiness,
and grows greater still.
In releasing my breath,
I release you.
I see that things
are clearer when
I stand alone
in my empty handed heart.
There is no pain in love,
when love is real.
There is only light.
Darkness cannot abide.
And I inhale the light only
To breathe back into the night.
More light.
I stop trying to
explain,
steer,
control,
dictate,
direct,
plead,
bargain,
drown,
deny,
subvert,
subjugate,
dominate,
win,
and I am free!
To be.
In this moment,
all there is.
And grief abates,
panic drops,
sadness lifts,
longing leaves,
craving ceases
anger dissolves,
and there is truth!
Pure and simple.
And I AM.
Again
Always
Forever.
I AM.
And I will wait for you.
