words of encouragement



In between rushing from one meeting to another this aftenoon, I managed to read bits and pieces of this poetry anthology book during my brief stop at Argo Tea. This poem (below) stood out and felt like a simple, beautiful rush of encouragement:

Quantative

I love beautiful women,
I also love working women;
But I love beautiful, working women --
More.

-- Translated from Turkish by Murat Nemet-Nejat.

Alright, off to bed -- another meeting at 9am tomorrow! Here's to beauty sleep! :)
