The Fox Den: New Year's Resolution

For the year 2009, I will:

1. plant a garden

2. Maintain a budget

To Ponder

"Sometimes I think I could sum up the meaning of motherhood in about 50 words: 'you have completely redefined my life and what it means to love. I don't think I understood how awe and joy and fear could combine so seamlessly until that moment I first held you. You will always come first. Now may I please go somewhere quiet and form a coherent thought?' "
--Stacy Larsen

"to see a world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour"--Billy Blake

"We hurry through the so-called boring things in order to attend to that which we deem more important, interesting. Perhaps the final freedom will be a recognition that everything in every moment is essential and that nothing at all is 'important.' "--Helen M. Luke

"Do not fear mistakes. There are none."--Miles Davis

"It may be human nature to see life in terms of highs and lows, but the bulk of it, really, is just navigating the vast, annoyance-flecked stretches in between--without inflating them into dramas."
--Carolyn Hax

"i thank you god
for most this amazing day; for
the leaping greenly
spirits of trees
and a blue true
dream of sky;
and for everything
which is natural
which is infintite
which is yes."
--e.e. cummings

"The sail, the play of its pulse so like our own lives: so thin and yet so full of life, so noiseless when it labors hardest, so noisy and impatient when least effective."
--Henry David Thoureau

"I write as I might sew—cutting out the pieces, threading them to each other—not knowing until they are connected whether the garment might flow, hang, wrinkle or sag."
--Twigg and Bug

Parenthood provides us a different ruler with which to measure our wealth.

The golden bees are making sweet honey
From all my old failures.
--Antonio Machado

Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.
--Oscar Wilde
