What can I say? I've even forgotten how to busy my hands with scraps of needle- work, dumb hands unwilling to commit to what the heart won't. Instead, I sit idle staring out windows. Nothing fits the contours of the landscape I was born to—absence of mountains, dense green, and salt air that smothers like family, like the waters I breathed penned in my mother's womb. Hard to say when I chose this: nothing the hand does can stitch time back to that place where mind and eye might mend the world to wholeness. Always two worlds. What pattern governs this surface inscrutable as the ocean, my mother's face? ~Debra Kang Dean, "Stitches"~ |
Through time-clouds I fly to days gone by. Physical limited are all left behind. The future and past, all in my grasp, For Pegasus shows me the key's in my mind. Horse of poetry, Light, Inspirational height, Your companion I'll be New lands shall I see. :ohm: |
If you want to make a statement without saying a word, simply sit down and lick yourself... Mr Smitty the one eyed rocking on limping kitty |

Just when you thought it more or less clear from all the times you've sent money to public radio and boycotted Wal-Mart that you were the incarnation of Albert Schweitzer, or Gandhi, or both, you find out you're really just a slightly bitchier version of Martha Stewart. Your well of compassion and patience, which was never very deep to begin with, is now just an empty cistern.
- Jan Shoemaker From "Where The Water Is" |
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ~ Nelson Mandela
