"You do not have to be good you do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles..." - Mary Oliver

🌙 Solitude

“You do not have to be good you do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting”

Solitude grants permission to stop performing and simply be.

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”
