I am: yet what I am none cares or knows,
My friends forsake me like a memory lost;
I am the self-consumer of my woes,
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shades in love and death’s oblivion lost;
And yet I am, and live with shadows tossed

Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life nor joys,
But the vast shipwreck of my life’s esteems;
And e’en the dearest -that I loved the best -
Are strange -nay, rather stranger than the rest.

I long for scenes where man has never trod,
A place where woman never smiled or wept;
There to abide with my Creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept:
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie, -
The grass below -above the vaulted sky.

I am, John Clare

Now,slowly, Anna began to make it up with Mrs.Lehntman. They could never be as they had been before. Mrs.Lehntman could never be again the romance in the good Anna’s life, but they could be friends again, and Anna could help all the Lehntmans in their need. This slowly came about. - The Good Anna; Three Lives, Getrude Stein

One of my favourite quotes that seems to be so highly apt in my life

After breaking my fast tonight, I looked out the window and was greeted by this beautiful sky. For a moment, I stood rooted to the ground. When I realised the magnificence of the sky, I ran for the camera and attempted to capture this moment in time.
