Ray Bradbury, from Dandelion Wine
may it be a month of love and light. a month of learning to pick up your pieces and sort them with clear judgement; to let go or to re-embrace. a month of motivation and increased energy for the tasks that present themselves to you. a month of understanding where you are in life and opening up to receive what the universe has in store for you. a month that will lead you into far more powerful changes to come.
