Walking with Persephone Quotes

“You do not have to overdo to be loved.
You do not have to perform to be loved.
You do not have to worry that your life will become meaningless or pointless if you soften.”

“I feel as if I have been piling things into my arms for the last twenty years, holding it all,
managing it all, doing it all, being it all and suddenly I am looking at the pile, realizing how much
of it doesn’t belong to me, and hungering to let it drop, to lay it all down, to walk away. I have
learned that when people see you carrying a lot and not dropping anything, that they often
think, “I guess she can hold this for me.” When they see you saying yes, they decide to also ask
you for things. When they see you doing something, they think, “She can do something for me
too.” And, eventually, the load becomes unbearable and you are driven into the ground by a
weight that you have opened your arms to accept.”

to weave strands of the ordinary
into your own holy text.
You are more than you know
less lost than you feel
and whole in your center.”
