42 " After doing this work or the past twelve years and watching scarcity ride roughshod over our families, organizations, and communities, I'd say the one thing we have in common is that we're sick of feeling afraid. we want to dare greatly.

43 " I do have a funny perception of mine I'd like to share. Being basically a lifetime poet. I've had many people say " I don't like poetry" But they'll listen to song after song that rhymes on the end in couplets Just a thought... "
44 " You write poetry?" Klaus asked.He had read a lot about poets but had never met one." Just a little bit," Isadora said modestly. " I write poems down in this notebook. It's an interest of mine." " Sappho!" Sunny shrieked, which meant something like, " I'd be very pleased to hear a poem of yours! "

46 " We had never taken a shower together. We had never even been in the same bathroom together. " Don't flush," I'd said, " I want to look." What I saw brought out strains of compassion, for him, for his body, for his life, which suddenly seemed so frail and vulnerable. " Our bodies won't have secrets now," I said as I took my turn and sat down. He had hopped into the bathtub and was just about to turn on the shower. " I want you to see mine," I said. He did more. He stepped out, kissed me on the mouth, and, pressing and massaging my tummy with the flat of his hand, watched the whole thing happen. "
47 " If I had wings I would fly,I'd soar on high where only eagles dareI'd let them rip, I'd let them tear, until all that remained was me bare. "

50 " A trip to Paris had sounded so adventurous when I was first talking about it a year earlier. People spoke about the city with dreamy longing, as though Paris possessed a magic that could not be found elsewhere. I'd never heard anyone talk about Paris without sighing. The city was a Promised Land that held appeal for most everyone: artists, lovers, even people who just liked cheese. "
