"¿Sabéis en qué consiste la individualidad?
En la voluntad consciente. En la consciencia de que uno posee una voluntad y que es capaz de actuar. Sí, esto es, dicho de un modo maravilloso. "
Diario. Katherine Mansfield.

"Ahora sé que cada poema debe ser causado por un absoluto escándalo en la sangre. No se puede escribir con la imaginación sola o con el intelecto solo; es menester que el sexo y la infancia y el corazón y los grandes miedos y las ideas y la sed y de nuevo el miedo trabajen al unísono mientras yo me inclino hacia la hoja, mientras yo me despeño en el papel e intento nombrar y nombrarme. "
Diarios. Alejandra Pizarnik.

Time for New Beginnings. . . .

This is a time for reflection as well as celebration. As you look back on the past year and all that has taken place in your life, Remember each experience for the good that has come of it and for the knowledge you have gained. Remember the efforts you have made and the goals you have reached. Remember the love you have shared and the happiness you have brought. Remember the laughter, the joy, the hard work, and the tears. And as you reflect on the past year, also be thinking of the new one to come. Because most importantly, this is a time of new beginnings and the celebration of life.
