The Cliffs of Magic
This is your body, your greatest gift, pregnant with wisdom you do not hear, grief you thought was forgotten, and joy you have never known.
— Marion Woodman (2001)

Men live among magical cliffs with their eyes closed.

My grandma once gave me advice:
When times are tough, keep moving in small steps. Do what you have to do, but a little at a time. Don’t think about the future, not even about what might happen tomorrow. Do the Dishes . Kick off the dust. Write a letter. Make a mince.
Do you see?
You’re going forward step by step. Make a step and stop. Take a rest. Compliments yourself. take another step And then another one.
You won’t notice it, but your steps will get bigger and bigger.
And the time will come when you will be able to think about the future without crying.

No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning and you will be able to think.
— Ursula Le Guin
