Zest and Curiosity

Enjoy some of my favorite poems. Cavafy´s Ithaka always had a special place in my heart. Poems are like little gems for me. They often take my mind to a wonderful state between daydreaming, discovery and deeper understanding of the delicately intangible world around of us.

Make friends with chaos
Let things shake
Forgive human frailty
Champion second chances
Defy unkindness
Reverence fellowship
Listen to the quiet
Respect the young
Seek growth
Trust in change
Treasure learning
Inspire faith in evolution
Reach beyond the binary
Be wary of the doubtless
Honour the brightheaded
Grow plants
Be electric
Cherish language
Dance daily
Sing into pain
Challenge assumptions
Follow the wind
Look upwards
Face forward
Read history
Open your ears
Drop your shoulders
Bend your knees
Raise the roof
Keep breathing
Be trustworthy
Take care of yourself
Believe in goodness
Head for the light.
