No longer forward nor behind I look in hope or fear but grateful take the good I find the best of now and here.

For all sad words of tongue and pen, The saddest are these, 'It might have been'.

A little smile, a word of cheer, A bit of love from someone near, A little gift from one held dear, Best wishes for the coming year. These make a merry christmas!

Swan flocks of lilies shoreward lying, In sweetness, not in music, dying.

Along the river's summer walk, The withered tufts of asters nod; And trembles on its arid stalk the hoar plum of the golden-rod.

Alas for him who never sees The stars shine through his cypress-trees Who, hopeless, lays his dead away, Nor looks to see the breaking day Across the mournful marbles play!

There are also the people too bizarre to ignore, like Kyle Simpson. Future male stripper.

You can't take life for granted.

Tokenism does not change stereotypes of social systems but works to preserve them, since it dulls the revolutionary impulse.

I think declaring a no fly zone over foreign soil is tantamount to an act of war.

Watch,witness,observe your thoughts-without any judgement,without any condemnation or evaluation.
