The Daily Boost (published weekdays) is one of the newsletters of The Raft, the online community of author Phyllis Cole-Dai. We Rafters ride the river of life buoyed by music, poetry, and other arts, plus water-drops of wisdom. Most everything here is free, but patrons (paid subscribers) get some special perks as a gesture of gratitude.
(My thanks to Maria Popova, via The Marginalian. This is one of forty cards that Maria created using snippets of text and images she harvested from John James Audubon’s Birds of America. Her work is now available for pre-order as a book of cards.)

Just like the wind.
Let them come.
Let them go.
