HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE<\/strong>
by Maria Popova<\/em><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t try to wash
your tired hands
clean from the bloodshed
of your private wars.
Just unclench the fist
that has come to feel like home
and let the story slip
between your trembling fingers
into the river of time,
silver and indifferent.
You may have to kneel
for days
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0or decades
in a pool of silence
blue and lonely as a heron
but it will be there,
the small green stone
lying at the bottom
lustrous with a peace
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0larger than joy.
When you rise,
kiss the tombstone
of your past
and step barefoot
into the garden of the future,
the garden of infinitely forking paths
in which any flower can be yours,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0any one at all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
