I picked up a leaf today from the sidewalk. This seems childish. Leaf! you are so big! How can you change your color, then just fall! As if there were no such thing as integrity! You are too relaxed to answer me. I am too frightened to insist. Leaf! don’t be neurotic like the small chameleon.
-Frank O'Hara

Am I a woman who devours herself? No, it's that I live in eternal mutation, with new adaptions to my renewed living and I never reach the end of any of the ways of existing. I live from unfinished and vacillating sketches. But I try my best to balance between me and I, between me and others, between me and the God.
Clarice Lispector, A Breath of Life (tr. Johnny Lorenz)
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Frost
Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
Percy Bysshe Shelley "The flower that smiles to-day"
The flower that smiles to-day To-morrow dies; All that we wish to stay, Tempts and then flies. What is this world's delight? Lightning that mocks the night, Brief even as bright.
Virtue, how frail it is! Friendship how rare! Love, how it sells poor bliss For proud despair! But we, though soon they fall, Survive their joy and all Which ours we call.
Whilst skies are blue and bright, Whilst flowers are gay, Whilst eyes that change ere night Make glad the day, Whilst yet the calm hours creep, Dream thou – and from thy sleep Then wake to weep.

Jo Shapcott ~ Of Mutability
Of Mutability
Mutability is the only constant thing in life. Nothing remains forever constant. The great works of art, the Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon succumb to the ravages of time. What is man that in this brief and insignificant life of his, he tries to immortalize and exalt himself? Death and time reduce all to nothing.
I, Vagabond - Sri Nehru Maharaj
“You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself: it’s also the flinch. Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it’s really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy. You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can’t write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that’s really not you. It’s not ingrained. It’s not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like. If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it’s the only way.
— Julien Smith, The Flinch (via wnq-anonymous)
