“Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down, lift your heart toward heaven like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled and it will be filled. You may be pushed down.

The one who says nothing good came of this is not yet listening.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estes

“That was the best part of the game for me, it just lifted so much off my shoulders. I haven't been able to hit a shot the last two, three games. When I shot it, it just felt good. I was in rhythm. It boosted me up.”
