Okay, just so everyone knows why I'm "Not Yet Listening:"

"Refuse to fall down.
If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down lift your heart toward heaven
and like a hungry begger ask that it be filled,
And it will be filled.
You may be pushed down.
You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heaven--only you.
It is in the middle of misery that so much becomes clear.
The one who says nothing good came of this
Is NOT YET LISTENING."

_Clarissa Pinkola Estes

I don't know, I find it inspirational...and quite frankly, lately, by the poet's standards, I'm not listening. It's probably something I should work on.
