Norns, you hold all fates
in your maiden hands, the threads
twisting and spinning.
Spinsters of fate, norns,
twirling and twisting the tale
setting birth and death.
Anything that works gives [others and yourself] a reason to push you in the direction of the thing that works. You can spend your life imitating yourself. …how am I going to be that person that wrote this thing four or five years ago who I just don’t associate myself with anymore … it takes some pretty big acts of courage to be like “I’m not going to do anything like what I did last time”
