971.

I am harpy,
and wen the kyng,
defys the gods
by prophesying,
then Zeus full wroth
orders kyng unfed.
i fly to Thrace,
i steal his bred.

972.

another half-forgotten
cemetery that’s tossed out
all the rules. most of
the gravestones are sprawling
with lopsided abandon in
the sun, the fence is dissolving
into forest, and an errant
morning glory has chosen a one
winged angel as a dancing
partner. as for me, I’m borrowing
someone else’s ancestors.
back against the warm stones of
a crumbling mausoleum,
I sip my coke and finish a gas
station sandwich. I get that
rules are the glue that holds us
all together, but as I watch
the morning glory and the angel
waltz in the wind, I wonder if
maybe its the dead who truly know
how to live life to the fullest…

Quote:

"The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up."

"Let us enrich ourselves with our mutual differences."

"Interruption, incoherence, surprise are the ordinary conditions of our life. They have even become real needs for many people, whose minds are no longer fed by anything but sudden changes and constantly renewed stimuli. We can no longer bear anything that lasts. We no longer know how to make boredom bear fruit. So the whole question comes down to this: can the human mind master what the human mind has made?"

~ Paul Valery

At 9:45, I was all set to tell you about my boring day.

Then I got sucked into watching the 9th inning of the baseball game.

Then the 10th

11th

and 12th. So it's 11:34 now and I'm going to bed.

There'll be more baseball and more from me tomorrow night. See you then!

R.I.P.: Walter Koenig - September 14, 1936 – October 25, 2026

Quotes:

"Movies can be effective in influencing people to think in ways they might not otherwise be exposed to. Social commentary in films is most effective when you're not aware of a soapbox. Making the point without force-feeding the audience is the most desirable approach."

"Well, an actor is an actor is actor, to paraphrase someone or other and the opportunity to work, to have a steady engagement, certainly seemed like an appealing concept to me."

Quote:

"The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare."

"When my time on earth is done and my activities here are past, I want them to bury me upside down, so my critics can kiss my ass."

"It has always been my thought that the most important single ingredient to success in athletics or life is discipline. I have many times felt that this word is the most ill-defined in all of our language. My definition isas follows: 1. Do what has to be done; 2. When it has to be done; 3. As well as it can be done; and 4. Do it it that way all the time."

~ Bobby Knight

Quote:

"Why should we all use our creative power....? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold and compassionate, so indifferent to fighting and the accumulation of objects and money."

"This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say."

~ Brenda Ueland

Quote:

"Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring - that delicious commingling of the perfume of arbutus, the odor of pines, and the snow - soaked soil just warming into life."

"This is exactly how falling in love should be in my opinion. It should be scary yet unflinching. We should fear it but know that it's worth the risk and we should throw ourselves full throttle into the darkness with nothing but hope to guide us. And, like learning to ride a bike, once we learn to love we never forget how and it seems we only become"

~ Neltje Blanchan

Quote:

"People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. If you read, you can learn to think for yourself."

"Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible."

"That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way."

~ Doris Lessing

Quote:

"Sometimes, only one person is missing, and the whole world seems depopulated."
