The Nude Swim

On the southwest side of Capri
we found a little unknown grotto
where no people were and we
entered it completely
and let our bodies lose all
their loneliness.

All the fish in us
had escaped for a minute.
The real fish did not mind.
We did not disturb their personal life.
We calmly trailed over them
and under them, shedding
air bubbles, little white
balloons that drifted up
into the sun by the boat
where the Italian boatman slept
with his hat over his face.

Water so clear you could
read a book through it.
Water so buoyant you could
float on your elbow.
I lay on it as on a divan.
I lay on it just like
Matisse's Red Odalisque.
Water was my strange flower,
one must picture a woman
without a toga or a scarf
on a couch as deep as a tomb.

The walls of that grotto
were everycolor blue and
you said, "Look! Your eyes
are seacolor. Look! Your eyes
are skycolor." And my eyes
shut down as if they were
suddenly ashamed.

-Anne Sexton

Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Maria Robinson

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

We seek not rest but transformation. We are dancing through each other as doorways. Marge Piercy

You can't punish yourself into change. You can't whip yourself into shape. But you can love yourself into well-being. Susan Skye

The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. M. Scott Peck

It's a sad day when you find out that it's not accident or time or fortune, but just yourself that kept things from you. Lillian Hellman

i found a real mini golf wedding!! they customized a 6 hole course, had a picnic themed dinner, and followed that with a bike parade with all their guests to a build your own ice cream sandwich shop (only $1.50!! wow!). their dad apparently spent 6 months planning the course, and even handmade all the clubs.
