messsges from home

(a lost file rediscovered on my computer from when i was home this August... accompanied by photos from the same time)

Some clippings found at home:

“If you constantly give, you will constantly receive.” – fortune from fortune cookie tucked in mirror in Donna’s room.

“Anonymous writer, on perspective: ‘Man, despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication and many accomplishments, owes the fact of his existence to a six-inch layer of top soil and the fact that it rains.’ ” – newspaper clipping, torn around the edges, in drawer in the living room/dad’s desk.

“Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.” – Swedish proverb as quoted in a newspaper clipping on grandma’s refrigerator

“The world stands out on either side,
no wider than the heart is wide.
Above the earth is stretched the sky,
no higher than the heart is high.”
- E. Millay. Printed by Dolores Otto in a high school graduation card to me and noted as lines from one of her favorite poems
