WHEN THE SOUL
SPLITS APART
Quote for Today
NOTE
My soul came apart like an empty jar.
It fell overwhelmingly, down the stairs.
Dropped from the hands of a careless maid.
It fell. Smashed into more pieces
than there was china in the jar.
Fernando Pessoa
[I found this short poem on page 263 of The Education of the Heart - edited by Thomas Moore, Readings and Sources for Care of the Soul, Soul Mates, and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, Harper Perennial, 1996]
