  • Just relative

    I just had a conversation with Yesterday
    About Tomorrow.
    He claimed I should be focused on Today
    And went on to chastise the Future
    While praising the Present
    Using words from the Past.

    I hate

  • Enlightenment

    Eventually the fog will lift
    Revealing the landscape
    Ravaged by blind pre-dawn fumbling
    Hope for a lengthy day
    In which to repair the damage
    Before dusk comes
    Bringing darkness again.

    Student: Life is hard.
    Master: A disciplined life is hard.

  • That Place

    Between desperation
    Desire to fold
    A longing to lie down
    And go no further
    And glowing optimism
    Working hard for the top
    The willingness to win
    And putting in the effort
    Is the Crossroads.

  • A blogger blogs, always

    A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word on paper.
    – Kurt Vonnegut

    Sometimes I hear people say, "blogging is dead" or "I don’t get any visitors anymore" or "no one reads this anymore." I’ve said it myself. My wife has said it. My blogging friends have said it. My blogging friends who no longer blog have said it and committed blogicide.

    Visitors, comments, stats…none of it matters. Write! Writing matters.

  • Hopes and dreams

    Hopes and dreams
    Misplaced ambitions;
    Life too short
    For wasted time,
    And silly superstitions.

    Hopes and dreams
    Driving youth
    Towards ends and means;
    Without direction,
    Nor goals which Wisdom brings.

    Hopes and dreams
    Lost over time;
    Replaced by routine,
    Obligation and burden.

    Hopes and dreams
    Aged away;
    Faded day by day,
    Ill guided
    And never realized.

    Hopes and dreams
    Wasted upon the youth,
    Who have the vision,
    But lack the Wisdom,
    To see a dream,
    Come to fruition.

  • Deep Thoughts

    We have such limited time in our short lives; none of it should be spent in brooding, negativity, and hatred.

  • Today’s Best Definition

  • Wind River

    "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion."
    — Henry David Thoreau
