“GREEN BIRD You cloth men with your feathers and your love like the sea. Your eyes like a sword piercing every inch of my heart. My pen fell when I had to look at them the fourth time. Oh mother love, the seamstress of destiny The designer of hearts Your offsprings are like stars beyond the reach of men. They glow and glitters in grace. Great bird of the forest.

“I have this fear that if I ever believe that others wield power over my destiny, that I am so vulnerable, I might as well abdicate control of my life. For if I accept that, what is to stop me attributing to others all the setbacks I encounter? And once that happens, why would I do anything to get back on my own two feet? I would be virtually saying that it was beyond me to reclaim myself. I would be accepting absolute lack of control. And the Good Lord knows, I had very little control over my life as it was. This fear, this need to go on believing I am in the driver's seat, may be the one ingredient in my make-up I will not find it easy to relinquish. Therefore, with everything that I cherished taken, broken or out of reach, I resolved I would become self-sufficient. I would work hard. I would study. I would pull myself up by my bootstraps. Yes, even though I had still to acquire the boots.”
