There’s no feeling more intense than starting over.Whenever I climb, I am followed by a dog called Ego.The mountain seems no more a soulless thing, … But rather as a shape of ancient fear,Īmid the lordless heavens' thundering … A Presence crouched, enormous and austere,īefore whose feet the mighty waters mourn.But through all this I feel your pain - Octavia B. The pain in knowing what more tears we have gained. Feel your pain the pain in knowing this has Happened to you.This is the Hour of Lead … Remembered, if outlived,įirst Chill, then Stupor, then the letting go - Emily Dickinson.And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.Where hope is coldest and despair most fits. Oft expectation fails, and most oft there.Its past, enlightened to perceive … New periods of pain. It has no future but itself, … Its infinite realms contain When it began, or if there were … A day when it was not. Pain has an element of blank … It cannot recollect.There are no regrets in life, just lessons.Lewis CarrollĪnd make us lose the good we oft might win,īy fearing to attempt. In the end… We only regret the chances we didn’t take.Is all that we see or seem … But a dream within a dream? - Edgar Allan PoeĪnd not seek for kind relief? - William Blake O God! Can I not save … One from the pitiless wave? O God! Can I not grasp … Them with a tighter clasp? How few! yet how they creep … Through my fingers to the deep, I stand amid the roar … Of a surf-tormented shore,Īnd I hold within my hand … Grains of the golden sand.Somethin' filled up my heart with nothin' … Someone told me not to cry.Īnd I can see that it's a lie.Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.Weep and you weep alone for the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, but has trouble enough on its own. To learn for what, please resume climbing. It is in falling short of your own goals that you will surpass those who exceed theirs. Find fault with yourself and not with others. Harm comes to those who know only victory and do not know defeat.
