Wisdom & Quotes

• Life is to adore, with more

Longing and more faith,
The bird that will come, than the
Bird that has flown.
- Psalms

• The heart is a bird that knows

How to nestle.
And how to love its nest. And
How to forget.
To forget is to break ties of
Yesterday,
And to take a great leap, and drop
Into the unknown.
To forget is to let the grass
Overflow, and prefer
To the certain delight, the
Uncertainty to come.
- Psalms

Isadora Duncan
