judgement is relative
People judge you by what you have done,and you judge yourself by what you can do.

Aye or Nay
"In life we all have an unspeakable secret, an irreversible regret, an unreachable dream and an unforgetable love"

Small moments
My mind then wandered. I thought of this: I thought of how every day each of us experiences a few little moments that have just a bit more resonance than other moments – we hear a word that sticks in our mind – or maybe we have a small experience that pulls us out of ourselves, if only briefly – we share a hotel elevator with a bride in her veils, say, or a stranger gives us a piece of bread to feed the mallard ducks in the lagoon…
And if we were to collect these small moments in a notebook and save them over a period of months we could see certain trends emerge from our collection – certain voices would emerge that have been trying to speak through us. We would realise that we have been having another life altogether, one we didn’t even know was going on inside us. And maybe this other life is more important than the one we think of as being real – this clunky day-to-day world of furniture and noise and metal. So just maybe it is these small silent moments which are the true story making events of our lives.

A map of love
Your face more than others' faces
Maps the half-remembered places
I have come to while I slept—
Continents a dream had kept
Secret from all waking folk
Till to your face I awoke,
And remembered then the shore,
And the dark interior.
--Donald Justice

Choose one
There are three kinds of souls and three kinds of prayers.
1) I am a bow in your hands,Lord.Draw me lest I rot.
2)Do not overdraw me ,Lord.I shall break.
3)Overdraw me,Lord.Who cares if I break.
Choose one.
