I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.

You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

There may be difficulty at the moment, but I will not lose the Virtue that
I possess. It is when the ice and snow are on them that we see the strength
of the cypress and the pine. I am grateful for this trouble around me,
because it gives me an opportunity to realize how fortunate I am.

Chuang-tse

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
~W.B. Yeats

Sometimes the “Universe” whispers possibilities as it brushes past. Other times, it takes my face in both hands, looks me in the eyes, and says, “Pay attention.”

Robert Harms Paints the Surface
of Little Fresh Pond

by Mark Doty

Surface the action of the day,

a means of tracing the dynamic,
so that a jitter of blue's
sparked by little coals,

sun a glimmer
of the day's intent. He knows
to trace an alphabet written on water

is to surface the action of the day,

a way of proceeding,
entering into the never-
to-be repeated,

a way of reading
a nearly infinite variety of gestures
legible only to one versed

in surface, the action of the day.

When my eye nearly failed
—the frail foil-back torn,
wild profusion of smoke-curls,

what I saw was just this:
what he sees on and in water,
by his hand

the action of surface notated,

the rhythm of things
discerned and ridden.
