The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

~ Martin Luther King

Stand~
Stand in the place where you live
Now face North
Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face West
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before

Still alone, staring on, wishing her life goodbye
As she goes searching for the man long forgiven, but not forgotten...

What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists?
In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.

~ Woody Allen

illusions
The visible universe was an illusion or,more precisly ,a sophism. Mirrors & fatherhood are abominable because they multiply it & extend it .
Jorge Borges

It's life's illusion I recall,

I really don't know much at all.

I don't remember, I don't recall,
I have no memory of anything at all

- Peter Gabriel

Memory

Lights the corners of my mind

Misty watercolour memories

Of the way we were.
