The more faithfully you listen to the voice within you, the better you will hear what is sounding outside. And only those who listen can speak authentically.
~ Dag Hammarskjold
This is the last year.
There will be no other,
but heartless nature
seemingly relents.
Never has a winter sun
spilled so much light,
never have so many flowers
dared such early bloom.
The air is brilliant, sharp.
Never have I taken
such long, long breaths.
