Hi dear, do you have any good words on emotional courage?
hi my love, you can check out this post and this post; here are a few more:
“I know a lot about pain… and I know it is bad for people, eats away the spirit, but how about courage, what is it for if not to use when needed?”
Martha Gellhorn, Selected Letters 
“This is in the end the only kind of courage that is required of us: the courage to face the strangest, most unusual, most inexplicable experiences that can meet us.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet 
“You don’t realize it, perhaps, but you are turning these delusions and illusions of the past into criminal things. Relinquish everything. Stay in bed until you feel so shock full of energy, hope, courage that you bounce out of abed. You can only aid the world–if you still believe the world needs our individual aid–by retaining your faith in life. Your body may be weak, but I know you still have wings.”
Henry Miller, A Literate Passion: Letters of Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller
“I… want to inherit the witch in my women ancestors—the willfulness, the passion, ay, the passion where all good art comes from as women, the perseverance, the survivor skills, the courage, the strength of las mujeres bravas, peleoneras, necias, berrrinchudas. I want to be una brava, una peleonera, necia, nerrinchuda. I want to be bad if bad means I must go against society—el Papá, el Pápa, the boyfriend, lover, husband, girlfriend, comadres—and listen to my own heart, that incredible witch’s broom that will take me where I need to go.”
Sandra Cisneros, A House of My Own
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird
“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh
“In the winter I am writing about, there was much darkness. Darkness of nature, darkness of event, darkness of the spirit. The sprawling darkness of not knowing. We speak of the light of reason. I would speak here of the darkness of the world, and the light of———. But I don’t know what to call it. Maybe hope. Maybe faith, but not a shaped faith—only, say, a gesture, or a continuum of gestures. But probably it is closer to hope, that is more active, and far messier than faith must be. Faith, as I imagine it, is tensile, and cool, and has no need of words. Hope, I know is a fighter and a screamer.”
Mary Oliver, Winter Hours: Prose, Poems, and Prose Poems
“There is always some miracle left; and though miracles do not happen, they might happen. Who knows? Perhaps our intelligence, our instinct, our senses, in spite of their daylight clearness, are leading us astray. Perhaps the one thing needful is just that unreasoning courage which follows hope’s will-o’-the-wisp as it burns…”
Jens Peter Jacobsen, Niels Lyhne
“But if the deepest loss, […] / can be, not just survived, but made into the matter / of hope, made into song, not into a hatchet / to cut off the offending parts, made into poems / then blessed be the end of things, the loss of whatever / secures us blindly and mutely to our lives.”
Julia Alvarez, The Other Side/El Otro Lado
“I run / stumbling, expectant. / Impatience is hopelessly / desperate. Hope / takes time.”
Marie Ponsot, Springing: New and Selected Poems
“How lightly we learn to hold hope, / as if it were an animal that could turn around / and bite your hand. And still we carry it / the way a mother would, carefully, / from one day to the next.”
Danusha Laméris, The Moons of August
“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”
Representative John Lewis
“Where does such a force come from? What does it mean? A voice very faint, and inside me, offers a possibility: how shall there be redemption and resurrection unless there has been a great sorrow? And isn’t struggle and rising the real work of our lives?”
Mary Oliver, Winter Hours: Prose, Poems, and Prose Poems
“Don’t forget that apparent impossibility of something is the first sign of its naturalness—in a different world, obviously.
Marina Tsvetaeva, from a letter to Anatoly Steiger
“Grieve. Have / hope.”
Jorie Graham, Swarm
Tumblr media
John Berryman, “The Heart is Strange”
“Skin had hope, that what’s skin does. / Heals over the scarred place, makes a road.”
Naomi Shihab Nye, “Two Countries”
“I am quite troubled in the depths of my soul. But that will pass,”
George Sand, in a letter to Gustave Flaubert
“Let’s dance a little before we go home to hell.”
Muriel Rukeyser, A Muriel Rukeyser Reader
Tumblr media
Hélène Cixous, Hyperdream (tr. Beverly Bie Brahic)
“That most moments were substantially the same did not detract at all from the possibility that the next moment might be utterly different.”
Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ada Limón, “Dead Stars”
“Listen, everyone has a chance. Is it spring, is it morning? Are there trees near you, and does your own soul need comforting? Quick, then — open the door and fly on your heavy feet…”
Mary Oliver, New and Selected Poems
“Get to the bottom of this intensity and have faith in what is most horrible, instead of fighting it off—it reveals itself for those who can trust it, in spite of its overwhelming and dire appearance, as a kind of initiation. By way of loss, by way of such vast and immeasurable experiences of loss, we are quite powerfully introduced to the whole.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Countess Alexandrine Schwerin, June 16, 1922
“…only one thing is urgently needed: to attach oneself with unconditional purpose somewhere to nature, to what is strong, striving and bright, and to move forward without guile, even if that means in the least important, daily matters. Each time we tackle something with joy, each time we open our eyes toward a yet untouched distance we transform not only this and the next moment, but we also rearrange and gradually assimilate the past inside of us.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Adelheid von der Marwitz, September 11, 1919
“Continue to believe that with your feeling and with your work you take part in what is the greatest. The more strongly you cultivate this belief inside of you, the more it will give rise to reality and world.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Elisabeth Freiin Schenk zu Schweinsberg, September 23, 1908
“…I have known with certainty that the worst things, and even despair, are only a kind of abundance and an onslaught of existence that one decision of the heart could turn into its opposite. Where things become truly difficult and unbearable, we find ourselves in a place already very close to its transformation.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Anita Forrer, February 14, 1920
“…he says, it will be all right.
“It is not the saying of an oracle or a prophet. They are words you might speak to a child ... and somehow I am comforted. He does not mean that it does not hurt. He does not mean that we are not frightened. Only that: we are here. This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive.”
Madeline Miller, Circe
“Right then she knows herself even less than she knows the sea. Her courage comes from not knowing herself, but going ahead nevertheless. Not knowing yourself is inevitable, and not knowing yourself demands courage.
Clarice Lispector, Complete Stories; “The Waters of the World”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Recovery (which includes return and renewal of health) is a re-gaining—regaining of a clear view. I do not say “seeing things as they are” and involve myself with the philosophers, though I might venture to say “seeing things as we are (or were) meant to see them”—as things apart from ourselves. We need, in any case, to clean our windows; so that the things seen clearly may be freed from the drab blur of triteness or familiarity—from possessiveness. Of all faces those of our familiares are the ones both most difficult to play fantastic tricks with, and most difficult really to see with fresh attention, perceiving their likeness and unlikeness: that they are faces, and yet unique faces.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, from his essay On Fairy-Stories
Tumblr media
Camille Norton, Corruption: Poems
“Keep busy with survival. Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go.”
May Sarton, Journal of a Solitude
“I have the fervour of myself for a presence / and my own spirit for light; / and my spirit with its loss / knows this; though small against the black, / small against the formless rocks, / hell must break before I am lost;”
H.D. from Collected Poems; “Eurydice”
Tumblr media
Denise Levertov, “Epilogue”
“The days go numb, the wind / sucks the world from your senses like withered leaves. // Through the empty branches the sky remains. / It is what you have. / Be earth now, and evensong. / Be the ground lying under that sky. / Be modest now, like a thing / ripened until it is real…”
Rainer Maria Rilke, from Rilke’s Book of Hours (tr. Anita Barrows, Joanna Macy)
“I know your sorrow and I know that for the likes of us there is not ease for the heart to be had from words of reason and that in the very assurance of sorrow’s fading there is more sorrow. So I offer you only my deeply affectionate and compassionate thoughts and wish for you only that the strange thing may never fail you, whatever it is, that gives us the strength to live on and on with our wounds.”
Samuel Beckett’s words of consolation to his friend, Alan Schneider
“What matters is not to allow my whole life to be dominated by what is going on inside me. That has to be kept subordinate one way or another. What I mean is: one must not let oneself be completely disabled by just one thing, however bad; don’t let it impede the great stream of life that flows through you. I have the feeling of something secret deep inside me that no one knows about.”
Etty Hillesum, from a diary entry featured in An Interrupted Life
“You have been told that, even like a chain, you are as weak as your weakest link. / This is but half the truth. You are also as strong as your strongest link. / To measure you by your smallest deed is to reckon the power of the ocean by the frailty of its foam. / To judge you by your failures is to cast blame upon the seasons for their inconstancy.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
“Try to keep what is beautiful to you and what you can use for today and now — You must not let things you cannot help destroy you —”
Georgia O’Keeffe, from Georgia O’Keeffe: Art and Letters
“What we love, shapely and pure, / is not to be held, / but to be believed in.”
Mary Oliver, from Evidence; “Swans”
“In time of the crises of the spirit, we are aware of all our need, our need for each other and our need for ourselves. We call up, with all the strength of summoning we have, our fullness. And then we turn; for it is a turning that we have prepared; and act. The time of turning may be very long. It may hardly exist.”
Muriel Rukeyser, from A Muriel Rukeyser Reader, “The Life of Poetry”
“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.” 
Howard Zinn, A Power Governments Cannot Suppress
“But don’t lose heart, dear ones—don’t lose heart. Don’t let it make you bitter. Try to understand. Try to understand. The world’s already bitter enough, we got to try to be better than the world.”
James Baldwin, from Another Country
“You do not have to be good. / You do not have to walk on your knees / for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. / You only have to let the soft animal of your body / love what it loves. / Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. / Meanwhile, the world goes on.”
Mary Oliver, “Wild Geese”

My January Stack: 
Keeping the monthly wrap-ups shorter and sweeter this year: only the highlights!
I read some fantastic graphic novels this month. I dug into two new incredible fantasy comics series: the first three volumes of art-deco Monstress and the first two of epic Saga. And the breathtaking My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris with its ink drawing composition notebook brilliance. 
Down and Delirious in Mexico City was a gift from my boyfriend that dug into the subcultures and lesser known markets of Mexico City. Like Water for Chocolate by Esquivel was a Mexican classic I should have read long ago. Caramelo by Cisneros was the perfect companion for my trip to Mexico—I read it walking down the hill at Chapultepec and on the bus ride to the pyramids.
The Le Guin–esque The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders and short story collection Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea are exciting SFF releases coming out later this year. I was enchanted by The Color Purple, and I fell in love with a book I knew I would fall for: Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado.

Robert Kraft brings girlfriend Ricki Lander to Allen & Co conference July 12, 2018 NewsfeedsMedia Robert Kraft brought a very special guest with him to Allen & Co this year, with girlfriend Ricki Lander joining the New England Patriots owner at the annual conference. This marks the first time that Lander, 38, has been to the Sun Valley retreat, which Kraft, 76, attends every year. Lander was not seen with Kraft when he arrived on Tuesday, but was photographed with the Patriots owner on Wednesday morning heading to the first session of the day. This latest appearance together seemed to confirm that the two are indeed still going strong after Lander welcomed a child late last year. Lander shared her first photo of daughter Monarch just six days after she and Kraft hit the red carpet for the annual Met Gala in New York City back in May, with the post suggesting that despite previous reports the baby was born this year. That would confirm speculation that Lander had the child via a surrogate, as she has been seen in public with Kraft multiple times since the holiday season, and at no point appeared to pregnant. ‘This year has been overflowing with love, light and blessings. A beautiful little angel came into our lives,’ wrote Lander. ‘She has brought more love and joy than I ever could have imagined. I love you so much little one…Thank you for choosing me as your mommy!’ A spokesperson for Kraft and the Patriots declined to comment on the billionaire’s role in the child’s life. Scroll down for videos My girl: Robert Kraft attended the annual Allen & Co conference with his longtime girlfriend Ricki Lander (pair above on Wednesday) Baby love: Lander welcomed a child late last year but it is unclear if she gave birth or had a surrogate and if Kraft is the father of the child Ring on it: Lander, 38, has been dating craft for close to seven years (pair above at the ring ceremony for the Patriots in 2015) Shey girl: Sheryl Sandberg smiled and waved to the media on Wednesday as she emerged for the first day of the Allen & Co with beau Bobby Koptick (Sandberg and Koptick above on Wednesday) Jules et Les: Les Moonves, the head of CBS, was also spotted walking with his wife and the host of two of his network’s shows, Julie Chen (above on Wednesday) Friend or foe: He will be coming face-to-face with Shari Redstone (above) this week, who has filed a countersuit against Moonves for making what she deems an illegal power grab Lander, 38, has also made her Instagram page public for the first time, revealing that Kraft also put a ring on it three years ago. Not an engagement ring though, but rather a Super Bowl ring following the Patriots 2015 victory of the Seattle Seahawks. That ring is valued at $36,500 and contains 4.85 carats of diamonds. More recent photos show Lander admiring the Costume Institute exhibit at the Met last Monday night at the Met Gala. Lander is nearly 40 years younger than Kraft, and the couple has been together off and on for nearly six years. Back in March when the news first broke about the child a spokesperson for the Patriots confirmed that Lander had a baby – but made it clear Kraft is not the father in a statement. ‘Last fall, Ricki Noel Lander became the proud mother of a beautiful, healthy baby,’ said a rep for the New England Patriots back in March. ‘While Robert Kraft is not the biological father, he is thrilled with Ricki’s blessing of having a healthy child. With respect to her family’s privacy, we will not be commenting any further.’ The statement also does not implicitly say that Lander herself gave birth to the child. Lander suddenly disappeared from Kraft’s side in January 2017 after the couple appeared together at the Golden Globe Awards. The aspiring actress wore a plunging black dress for the event, while Kraft wore a black suit and his trusty Nikes. Just a few weeks later, Kraft brought his son Jonathan with him to the event and not girlfriend Lander, who he began dating a year after his wife’s death. Eileen Donahoe, John Donahoe, Ben Horowitz and Felicia Horowitz Ingrid Fitzgerald and Niall Fitzgerald (left); Philipp Schindler and Chris Ilitch (right) Meg and John Hock Niraj Shah and Jill Shah (left); Justin Kelly and Susan Kelly (right) Kimberly Querrey and Lou Simpson Orion Hindawa (right); Jose Antonio Fernandez (left) John Driscoll and Lauren Driscoll Kevin Sabet (left); Nick Griffin and Adriana Cisneros (right) Mike O’Hanlon, Maria Macaya and Fernando Rodes Lander was also not with Kraft at the 2017 Super Bowl and subsequent victory parade after the Patriots bested the Atlanta Falcons. She and Kraft were seen together in Los Angeles this past December though, with the pair getting lunch together a week before Christmas. That gap and Lander’s lithe frame during that outing made it seem as though she gave birth in the fall, as the Patriots spokesperson said in their statement. Lander and Kraft were together again at the Grammy Awards in late January and then NBA All-Star weekend the following month followed a few weeks later by the annual Vanity Fair Oscar party. In between those outings Kraft and the Patriots lost their fourth Super Bowl in franchise history when they fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in Minneapolis. Lander was there for the loss, popping up in the background of a photo posted by Willie McGinest to Twitter as she chatted with Bill Belichick’s daughter Amanda. The Patriots owner, who made his fortune in paper and packaging and whose net worth is said to be more than $4billion, reportedly bought Lander a mansion in Los Angeles. Kraft has also taken steps to make sure that her financial future is secure thanks to a number of investments, Page Six reported. ‘Bob is fully supporting the child,’ a source told Page Six. ‘There is a lot of tiptoeing around the subject at the Patriots offices. Everyone is afraid to openly talk about it.’ Kraft already has four sons from his marriage to Myra, who died in 2011 after she was diagnosed with cancer. During the 2011-2012 season, the Patriots honored Myra Kraft with special patches bearing her initials that were clearly displayed on their uniforms. In 2013, the sons successfully petitioned the Massachusetts Supreme Court to alter the family trust so that they could have more control over assets. It is believed that the trust will be changed once again in order to provide for Lander’s child. Kraft and Lander split in late 2015 after three years together, reportedly over Lander’s desire to marry the billionaire, whose day job is serving as the Chief Executive Officer of The Kraft Group, a diversified holding company with assets in paper and packaging, sports and entertainment. The lovebirds were back together however early the next year, putting their May-December romance on display for all to see as they attended a number of events together. Under Kraft’s ownership, the Patriots have become a model of success for sports franchises. Since Kraft purchased the Patriots in 1994 for $175million, the team has captured five Super Bowl championships. In total, the team has appeared in nine Super Bowls since Kraft took over. The Patriots are tied with the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys for second most Super Bowl championships in the history of football. The Pittsburgh Steelers (6) own the most Super Bowl titles of any NFL franchise Love was in the air on Wednesday as couples strolled the campuse at annual Allen & Company conference in Sun Valley. Most of this year’s guests emerged from the Sun Valley Lodge around 9am and were seen walking hand-in-hand with their significant other to the first session of the day, with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and her billionaire beau Bobby Kotick of Activision Blizzard leading the pack. CBS president Les Moonves was seen soon after, leaning into his wife Julie Chen, who hosts The Talk and Big Brother for her husband’s network. Chen seldom makes the trek to Allen & Co but may be by her husband’s side this year as he will inevitably come face-to-face with Shari Redstone, who recently filed a countersuit against Moonves claiming that he was trying to take control of the company and its board with an illegal power grab. International visitors: Francois-Henri Pinault, chief executive officer of Kering, and venture capitalist Aviv ‘Vivi’ Nevo Di’s guy: Michael Bloomberg (left) and Diana Taylor (right) were spotted heading to an early morning session on Wednesday Doting couple: Brian Grazer and wife Veronica are seen on the campus Wednesday morning (above) Spotified: Daniel Ek of Spotify and Sofia Ek (right); Sam Altman of Y Combinator with his boyfriend (right) Double date: Josh James, Marina James, Meghan Tolia and Nirav Tolia (left to right) head to a session Stacey Bendet was back in action on Wednesday morning too, wearing her third dress of the week less than 24 hours after arriving in Idaho. This time it was a Gwenda floral-print dress with a pussy bow in red from her own line, worn under a draped open front leather jacket in red also from Alice & Olivia. Bendet than topped it all off with her signature oversized sunglasses and a tainbow embellished tote, also from her fashion line. The designer, who is married to Eric Eisner, wore dresses in yellow and teal on Tuesday, driving home her belief that it is ‘all about rainbows’ and not bitcoin. Also spotted on Wednesday were Brian Grazer with his wife Veronica, Niraj Shah of Wayfair and his wife Jill and Daniel Ek of Spotify with wife Sofia. Bryan Lourd, Michael Ovitz and Francois-Henri Pinault were in Sun Valley as well, but were photographed with their respective other halves: Bruze Bozzi, Tamara Mellon and Selma Hayek. One attendee who did bring along his lady love this year was Rupert Murdoch, who was one of the first to arrive with fourth wife Jerry Hall. Murdoch is the talk of the camp this year, as Walt Disney and Comcast fight for Fox’s entertainment assets. The company is selling off its studios as well as its products, with shows like The Simpsons and movies like Avatar. Disney is reportedly in front with an offer of cash and stock valued at $71.3 billion, while Comcast had previously offered all cash. Fox Business reports the telecommunications company is using its time rubbing shoulders with Disney CEO Bob Iger wisely, and executives are preparing a new deal. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts seemed confident when he arrived at the camp, Bloomberg reported, offering a cheerful wave to waiting media and pointing out ‘it’s a beautiful day’. Brian Grazer and wife Veronica, Michael Lynton and wife Jamie and General Motors CEO Mary Barra with husband Anthony have been seen on campus as well this year. Lachlan and James Murdoch will also be joining their father at the conference, which is also being attended by the Wojcicki sisters, Anne and Susan . Sneakrheads: Michael Eisner (left) and Karina Hogg (right) were among those seen on the campus Wednesday Hall monitor: Rupert Murdoch and his wife Jerry Hall were seen arriving on Tuesday but not early Wednesday Tommy Frist and Julie Frist (left); Carl Kawaja of Capital Group with wife Wendy Holcombe (right) Bryan Lourd (above) is seen with a cup of coffee as he heads off to a session on Wednesday Dennis Lynch and Marshall Lynch (left); Omid Kordestani and Gisel Kordestani (right) Kaz Hirai, chairman of the Sony Corporation (left) and Kenichiro Yoshida, chief executive officer of the Sony Corporation (right) Lisa Piepler and Richard Piepler (left); Lindsay Levin and David Levin (right) Julie Logan and Frank Sands, CEO and CIO of Sands Capital Management Eddy Cue (left), the SVP of Internet Services at Microsoft; Brian Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast (right) Martin Indyk, who was previously the special envoy for Israel-Palestinian negotiations, and Gahi Buri Kevin Sabet, who founded Smart Approaches to Marijuana with Patrick J. Kennedy and serves as the director of the Drug Policy Institute at the University of Florida, was spotted on Wednesday walking with his wife. Live Nation Entertainment, Sirius XM and TripAdvisor chairman Gerg Maffei, who is also the president and CEO of Liberty Media, was also seen arriving on Tuesday afternoon. Matt Quayle, the co-creator of Squawk Box and Squawk on the Street, was seen as well, filling the spot that is given each year to a member of the CNBC team, who will interview a number of the attendees over the next few days. And rounding things out were Michael Fux, the multimillion-dollar mattress man behind Sleep Innovations. The annual conference has become known as a dealmaker’s dream, with some of the media and technology industries’ biggest sales taking place in the sleepy Idaho town. This year should be another eventful one thanks to the pro-business policies that have been touted and put in place by President Donald Trump. His offspring will not be making an appearance however like last year, when Ivanka Trump arrived with husband Jared Kushner.
