What a crazy, imperfect, yet miraculous life it is that we’re living.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”

— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Today I walked on the lion-coloured hills 

with only cypresses for company,  

until the sunset caught me, turned the brush 

to copper 

set the clouds  

to one great roof of flame  

above the earth, 

so that I walk through fire, beneath fire, 

and all in beauty.  

Being alone 

I could not be alone, but felt 

(closer than flesh) the presence of those 

who once had burned in such transfigurations. 

My happiness ran through the centuries 

in one continual brightness.  Looking down, 

I saw the earth beneath me like a rose 

petaled with mountains, 

fragrant with deep peace.

Elizabeth Coatsworth, On the Hills, 1924
