Change Quote by Weldon Kees
““A Small Prayer" Change, move, dead clock, that this fresh day May break with dazzling light to these sick eyes. Burn, glare, old sun, so long unseen, That time may find its sound again, and cleanse Whatever it is that a wound remembers After the healing ends.””

![“The best way to get quiet, other than the combination of extensive therapy, Prozac, and a lobotomy, is first to notice that the station is on. KFKD [K-Fucked] is on every single morning when I sit down at my desk. So I sit for a moment and then say a small prayer--please help me get out of the way…” quote by Anne Lamott](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/bbf/anne-lamott-188_mental-health_the-best-way-to-get-quiet-other-than-the_539826.jpg)
