Leaving Undramatically

 

Artwork Copyright Ann Baranowski 2011

You must dare to disassociate yourself from those who would delay your journey...

Leave, depart, if not physically, then mentally.

Go your own way, quietly, undramatically,

and venture toward trueness at last.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act,
the rest is merely tenacity.

The fears are paper tigers.

You can do anything you decide to do.

You can act to change and control your life;

and the procedure, the process

is its own reward.

Amelia Earhart

Courage

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things;

knows not the livid loneliness of fear.”

Amelia Earhart

where your backbone ought to be.
