Day 68

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

R. W. Emerson.

Day 67


Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
Edgar Allan Poe

Day 65

“Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.”

Day 59


There they were, in the window.
I saw them
and stopped
They were all wearing the same shirt
They varied in physical appearance 
But I could sense they were part of the same class

Strange

Very strange, I thought

Then I wondered about their world, a corporate world
It seams as though the corporate world is becoming a bit more relaxed 
in its attire, maybe.

none the less

Strange

And I looked closer And I wondered,
what class is mine
or have I switched one class for another
or do I even want to acknowledge or be defined by a class

Maybe I'll claim "different" -class

And  I peered closer into the window, where they seamed to speak and relate on topics 

I would never entertain 

I am just like them

Everything has its wonders, 
even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

Day 48

I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.
Ray Charles
