My Mama Says…

2 Sep

My incredibly wise mother sent this quote to me in the mail this week. There’s something about receiving it in the mail, on actual paper, that made even more of an impact on me…

“Dear Michael,

I had never heard this by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and I was struck by how appropriate it is for me…and maybe you?

Loving you always,

Mom”

Be not the slave of your own past – Plunge into the sublime seas, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience, that shall explain and overlook the old.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
