“The statesman, lawyer, merchant, man of trade Pants for the refuge of some rural shade, Where all his long anxieties forgot Amid the charms of a sequester'd spot, Or recollected only to gild o'er And add a smile to what was sweet before, He may possess the joys he thinks he sees, Lay his old age upon the lap of ease, Improve the remnant of his wasted span. And having lived a trifler, die a man.” ThinkingMenMayLongAgeJoyDiesSweetAnxietyTradeLaysAddLawyerOld AgeSpotsEaseCharmRetirementShadePantsRefugeLapStatesmenMerchantsRemnants Book:Poems, with a memoir of the author Source: Poems, with a memoir of the author

“Love is ease, love is comfort, love is support and respect. Love is not punishing or controlling. Love lets you grow and breathe. Love's passion is only good passion -- swirling-leaves-on-a-fall-day passion, a-sky-full-of-magnificent-stars passion -- not angst and anxiety. Love is not hurt and harm. Love is never unsafe. Love is sleeping like puzzle pieces. It's your own garden you protect; it's a field of wildflowers you move about in both freely and together.” TogetherMovingFallPassionStarsGrowsHurtSleepLove IsSupportPiecesSkyFieldsComfortProtectAnxietyGardenBreatheHarmEaseMagnificentPuzzlesAngstUnsafeWildflowersLove RespectPuzzle Piece Author:Deb Caletti

“Depending on their psychic make up, for some people, closing the eyes or being quiet produces anxiety and increases mental agitation. In such situations it is better to undertake the practice of yoga-whether physical yoga or meditation-with other people with whom one is comfortable and at ease.
