The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is today.

For this is wisdom - to love and live,
To take what fate the gods may give,
To ask no question, to make no prayer,
To kiss the lips and caress the hair,
Speed passion’s ebb as we greet its flow,
To have and to hold, and, in time - let go.

Sometimes, instead of running from something scary in your life, it’s easier to learn not to be scared of it.
