Man's unhappiness, as I construe,
comes of his greatness; it is because
there is an infinite in him, which
with all his cunning he cannot quite
bury under the finite.

--Thomas Carlyle

bury

Oh bury me not on the lone prairie
where the coyotes howl and the wind blows free.

old cowboy song.

~bury

Please don't bury me down in that cold cold ground
I'd rather have them cut me up and pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the bind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both 'a my ears
If they don't mind the size!

YOU

Put on your best dress baby
and darling fix your hair up right
Cuz there's a party honey
way down beneath the neon lights
all day you been working that hard line
now tonight you're gonna have a good time

I work 5 days a week girl
loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
and meet my girl down on the block
Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got friday on my mind

When that wistle blows, girl I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm outa my work clothes

When I'm out in the street
I walk the way I wanna walk
When I'm out in the street
I talk the way I wanna talk
when I'm out in the street
when I'm out in the street.....

"Had I to carve an inscription on my tombstone, I would ask for none other than 'The Individual.'

--Soren Kierkegaard

ASK

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the
world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around
you. We are born to manifest the Glory of God that is
within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in
everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As
we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.

She Comes Not by Herbert Trench

She comes not when noon is on the roses –
Too bright is day
She comes not to the soul til it reposes
From work and play

But when the night is on the hills and the
Great voices roll in from the sea
In starlight and candle-light and dreamlight,
She comes to me.

Noon

O dark , dark , amid the blaze of noon ,
Irrecoverably dark , total eclipse ,
Without all hope of day !

John Milton

It was that fatal and perfidious bark,

Built in th' eclipse, and rigged with curses dark.

Milton

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others, to give one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived … this is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson “Success”
