Summary

This quote suggests that habit and routine, when left unchecked, have the potential to be detrimental and counterproductive in one's life. By implying that they hold an "unbelievable power to waste and destroy," it highlights the negative consequences that can arise when one becomes overly reliant on repetitive patterns without questioning their purpose or effectiveness. It serves as a reminder to remain vigilant and conscious of the habits and routines we adopt to ensure they align with our goals and do not hinder our overall well-being and progress.

Teach me, Father, how to goSoftly as the grasses grow;Hush my soul to meet the shockOf the wild world as a rock;But my spirit, propt with power,Make as simple as a flower.Let the dry heart fill its cup,Like a poppy looking up;Let life lightly wear her crown,Like a poppy looking down,When its heart is filled with dew,And its life begins anew.

It's my birthday, by the way, and as of 2:05 this morning (the time of my birth in the middle of a snow storm on the Fort Dix army base in New Jersey) I'm 52 years old. I decided to say that because there's such in our culture for women...well, for everybody...to stay perpetually young. And that's never going to change if we (women especially) don't embrace, enjoy, and take pride in each and every age that we pass through. I'm not young, I'm half a century old, and grateful to have made it this far. And I have this to say to the young women coming on behind me: 52 feels pretty damn good!
