"Ideas are great arrows, but there has to be a bow." ~ Bill Moyers
Cutting Edge As if trumpeters sound off to awaken night-thoughts cut through the dark like an axe of light And with each silver blow against the shadows lurking splendour scorches epiphany torches solutions slice and slice again The mind revels in its precision But alas the trumpeters retreat and...

“A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?"
~ Eintstein Questions And still there sits the ponder and the wondering like a pool of water neither moving nor rushing on a hot summer's day Should I choose to swim in stroke or float the wake I leave would sill be mired and twisted tight with questions reeling and answers beyond my reach

“Strangers are exciting, their mystery never ends. But, there's nothing
like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends. ” ~ Ani Difranco Empty As we shake the hand or buss the cheek of a stranger quickly a thought passes through our minds Is it the false certainty of friendship that licks our lips or is it in the unknown that intrigues us Do we open...

There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn
and taken away from us at dusk. ~ Jean-Paul Sartre Twilight When evening shade prevails and the earth breathes and listens listening to a story that repeats itself in glorious voice and shine we are neither bored nor surprised by the tale of spinning of infinite rotation and truths told from pole to...
