This is failure. It’s that moment when you realize that a choice you made, or something you did, has fully changed the course of your life. But what matters even more than this truth is what you do choose to do once you know it. The tendency may be to curl up in the fetal position and wait for things to improve. But if you can somehow manage to take a breath and look around you, you might just spot another path you hadn’t seen before. It may not be easy to walk, especially the beginning. But all that really matters is that it’s there. 

- Sarah Dessen

Now this is not the beginning. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

Once when Mount
Saint Helens erupted
hot rock seared life out of
every pulsing thing; gray ash and
dust entombed the char that a second before
had been plant and animal and person, sealing all in
graves the size of cities, the depths of seas. Scientists, who
are schooled in such matters, avowed that nothing would live in that
place for decades. They could not account, just five years later, for the single
lupine that appeared, each leaf stalk a perfect six-pointed star, green spears pointing in
every direction, the tangle of amethyst flowers, laughter bubbled up from the belly of earth.

-Sheri Lindner
