A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. ”

“ There will be tough workouts when the athlete has to really dig deep, believe, and not give up when the pain seems too much. The athlete can respond in one of two ways: Yield to the pain and selfdoubt or decide that fear will not determine his or her potential. It's hard (and usually uncomfortable) work breaking through old barriers and selfdefeating thought patterns to see meaningful progress, and fear is an absolutely natural response, but you can't let it become a limiter. ”
