We never know how high we are (1176) by Emily Dickinson

We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies–

The Heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the Cubits warp
For fear to be a King–

Shine on!

“We all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun.” –John Lennon

Becoming a leaner, stronger, better man…

“I made a new year’s resolution not to make any new Year’s resolutions. But here it is, the second of January, and I’m ready to break it. Did I really think I could turn my back on a lifelong habit of trying to improve myself? Begin the year without a ten-point plan to become a leaner, stronger, better man? Lay down my sword and shield and, pardon the expression, just be me? Impossible.” –Sy Safransky, Editor of The Sun

Keep being young!

“The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible, and achieve it, generation after generation.” –Pearl S. Buck

Listen closely…

“Language is the most beautiful of human creations. It’s the loveliest thing our brain has invented.” –Ajit Narayanan

Loving, Listening

“The first duty of love is to listen.” –Paul Tillich

“I Saw A Man Pursuing The Horizon” by Stephen Crane

I saw a man pursuing the horizon;

Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
“It is futile,” I said,
“You can never-”

“You lie,” he cried,
And ran on.

Thinking, Being

“What we think, we become.” -Buddha
