ALT From Falling Up by Shel Silverstein: Falling up. I tripped on my shoelace, and I fell up.

But it got me so dizzy When I looked around, I got sick to my stomach And I threw down.

ALT From Devotions by Mary Oliver: This Morning. This morning the redbirds' eggs have hatched and already the chicks are chirping for food. They don't know where it's coming from, they just keep shouting, "More! More!" As to anything else, they haven't had a single thought. Their eyes haven't yet opened, they know nothing about the sky that's waiting. Or the thousands, the millions of trees. They don't even know they have wings. And just like that, like a simple neighborhood event, a miracle is taking place.

ALT From Clarity & Connection by yung pueblo: self-awareness. heal yourself, but don't rush. help people, but have boundaries. love others, but don't let them harm you. love yourself, but don't become egotistical. stay informed, but don't overwhelm yourself. embrace change, but keep pursuing your goals. next time you feel agitated because you are falling back into past patterns, remember that simply being aware that you are repeating the past is a sign of progress.
