this poem is my only motivation for attempting to study for midterms and be a functional human for a while. i'm taking this all day by day. i'm up one minute and down the next, but i guess that's normal. counting my blessings, actually praying, and reminiscing, are my main distractions at the moment. but honestly, if i fail my exams because if that, i'd say it's well worth it.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
-Frye
