From the Inside

I enjoy talking about friends and family
I enjoy writing about the people that make my life full
I reflect on issues that are making me work forward
I talk about what matters most to me
Suffering does that.

It Compels us to eliminate the Unnecessary, the Trivial, the Superficial

there is greatness in me.
Courage. Desire. Integrity.
Virtue. Compassion.
Dignity.
Loyalty. Love.
it's in there-
somewhere.
And sometimes
it takes Suffering
to get at it.
Trust me.....
It's in there.

I feel like creating today.......

Emily Dickinson


A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown —
Who ponders this tremendous scene —
This whole Experiment of Green —
As if it were his own!
