D. Antoinette Foy Quotes

The sky never falls with the rain.
It is never weighed down by all that
it carries. It takes all of its anchors
and turns them into stars.
Learn from this.

Your flesh is not a reflection of your soul. So when you look in the mirror, remember that your light outshines your flaws.

My heart's scripture tastes
foreign in the mouths of
cowards and on the tongues of
those who have never breathed in
the moon and breathed out the world.

I want to celebrate the sadness that makes you feel everything so deeply.
I want to throw a party for the wounds that make you so unabashedly human.

What is the finding of love,
but a voice answering a voice?

There are no lungs like the ones that breathe poetry.

Take each day in your open palms and close your fists around it. This life is not done with you yet.

Love is wind for the soul

I am in awe of flowers.
Not because of their colors,
but because even though they
have dirt in their roots,
they still grow.
They still bloom.
