Stronger lessons

Have you learn'd lessons only of those who admired you,
and were tender with you, and stood aside for you?
Have you not learn'd great lessons from those who reject
you, and brace themselves against you? or who treat you
with contempt, or dispute the passage with you?

Walt Whitman

I took up the runes

Twelve moons

Madar

All the things you are 8

All the things you are 7

All the things you are 6
