let us be poised and wise and our own today ...
without a shadow of a doubt, 
amidst this vertigo of shows and politics,
i settle myself ever firmer in the creed
that we should not postpone and refer and wish, 
but do broad justice where we are....
                              ~ emerson


to the mind there is such a thing as news,
whereas to the inner knowing,
it is all in the middle of its happening....
.....
to the lover and the visionary,
it is life as it's being lived.
