Love this! I’m such a fan of Cummings but had never seen this quote before. Thanks, Marie!

I know, I love his writing too – and this is the first time I had heard this quote and had to share it 🙂

I like this one too. It kinds fits with the Bozos on the Bus. Maybe who you are isn’t a Bozo, but whoever you are to stand up and be that person rather than who everyone else has decided is cool, well that is cool.
Happy Monday Marie and all else.

Great quote 🙂 I feel that a cancer diagnosis is one of the greatest threats to our identity – more than peer pressure or obligations. We need to keep on fighting to maintain our sense of self.

Thanks for the comment and I certainly agree that with your statement about identity – the apparent randomness of a cancer diagnosis can shake your sense of identity to its very core and afterwards nothing will ever feel certain again.

Love the quote and love you for posting it. Thanks. Being diagnosed with cancer is certainly one of the identity crises that life brings. As I get older (and older) I search for my center every day and try to remember that surely it will go with me when I go.

A wonderful selection from a poet who never fails to delight–even if he does so in lower-case.
