A June Morning

 

Memories Look At Me

By Tomas Transtromer

 

A June morning, too soon to wake,

too late to fall asleep again.

I must go out -- the greenery is dense

with memories, they follow me with their gaze.

They can't be seen, they merge completely into

the background, true chameleons.

They are so close that I can hear them breathe

though the birdsong is deafening.

Hope

I am always searching for ways to simplify my life and focusing my outlook on the positive.

When I read this quote from Pulitzer Prize winner Tomas Transtromer, the beauty of his message struck me immediately.  May you think of yourself today as a butterfly, flying with your your friends and family, full of the knowledge that you can create meaning out of personal loss.

"The caterpillar feet were gone, the wings unfolded.

One should never lose hope!"
