Are you awake?
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.”

My choice for the official motto of lesbian butches....
"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a person who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman." ~Anaïs Nin |
Swearing was invented as a compromise between running away and fighting.

Robert Harms Paints the Surface of Little Fresh Pond by Mark Doty
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. |
There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.-Bertrand Russell

He that fears not the future may enjoy the present.

The world has a way of giving what is demanded of it. If you are frightened
and look for failure and poverty, you will get them, no matter how hard you may try to succeed. Lack of faith in yourself, in what life will do for you, cuts you off from the good things of the world. Expect victory and you make victory. Preston Bradley |
Have you contributed to world peace today?
"Some individuals know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace." ~Marianne Williamson, "A Woman's Worth" |
"When folks get wrapped up in themselves they make very small packages."

In memory of Nora Ephron
"What I'm saying is, don't delude yourself that the powerful cultural values that wrecked the lives of so many of my classmates have vanished from the earth. Don't let The New York Times article about the brilliant success of Wellesley graduates in the business world fool you — there's still a glass ceiling. Don't underestimate how much antagonism there is toward women and how many people wish we could turn the clock back. One of the things people always say to you if you get upset is, don't take it personally, but listen hard to what's going on and, please, I beg you, take it personally. Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim." ~from her address to the graduating class of Wellsley, 1996 |
Intelligence without wisdom is dangerous. -Mrs. Radcliff
Life is about change, whether good or bad, and being able to adjust accordingly.- Okechukwu Keke Nothing is impossible to the man who doesn't have to do it himself. -Unknown |
