***AUTHOR'S REQUEST TO PLEASE REMOVE QUOTE LISTED BELOW***

***Quotes are from an anthology and not from the author***


"maybe we try too hard to be remembered, waking to the glowing yellow disc in ignorance, swearing that today will be the day, today we will make

something of our lives. what if we are so busy searching for worth that we miss the sapphire sky and cackling blackbird. what else is missing?

maybe our steps are too straight and our paths too narrow and not overlapping. maybe when they overlap someone in another country lights a candle, a couple

resolves their argument, a young man puts down his silver gun and walks away."
— Naomi Shihab Nye (Time You Let Me In: 25 Poets under 25)

Since it has likes, we would prefer to add the correct author instead. Who would that be?

I'm sorry this is not the author's quote. The quote comes from an anthology. Please remove quote.

We will not remove the quote from the database, but we are happy to credit it to the correct author instead. Please let us know who that is.
