Motivational Quote of the day for Monday, March 8, 2021

“the heart breaks and breaks and lives by breaking. It is necessary to go through dark and deeper dark and not to turn.” #stanleykunitz #american #poet #deathanniversary #practicedying https://www.instagram.com/p/CALFFSthHKB/?igshid=1dirlfdzbssx7

The Portrait (Poem) Stanley Kunitz - (1905-2006) My mother never forgave my father for killing himself, especially at such an awkward time and in a public park, that spring when I was waiting to be born. She locked his name in her deepest cabinet and would not let him out, though I could hear him thumping. When I came down from the attic with the pastel portrait in my hand of a long-lipped stranger with a brave moustache and deep brown level eyes, she ripped it into shreds without a single word and slapped me hard. In my sixty-fourth year I can feel my cheek still burning. #StanleyKunitz. #AmericanPoetry. #AmericanPoet. #Poetry. #Poet. #Literature. #happybirthdayStanleyKunitz !

“I refuse to turn to theology to justify the life or redeem it. There is a question always of the connection to the eternal. I say to myself above all, keep alive your conviction that there are sacred elements in the life in the practice of the life that must be respected. But the conviction in the existence of the sacred does not necessarily imply that you need to believe in a creator, because we are the ones that made the sacred.” #stanleykunitz #american #poet #thetestingtree #deathanniversary #practicedying (at Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxcStdDBm7d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cix4f7ozwopb
