​Ring out the old, ring in the new
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

•  — Alfred Lord Tennyson

What should I do about the wild heart that wants to be free and the tame heart that wants to come home? I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close.
I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at night.
​I don’t want to tell you where I am.
I want to be with you. 
— Jeanette Winterson

​Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,
At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat, across torrents, through
   narrow passes.
But will he know where to find you,
Recognize you when he sees you,
Give you the thing he has for you?

• — John Ashbery

When we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?

​I thought my fire was out,
and stirred the ashes….
I burnt my fingers.

Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is
what separates the snapshot from the photograph.
