“As the saying goes, you might as well be yourself; everyone else is taken.”
“It is not our job to remain whole.
We came to lose our leaves
Like the trees, and be born again,
Drawing up from the great roots.”
Robert Bly, born on 23 December 1926, Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Leo, Ascendant in Sagittarius, American poet.
