Rain 
 
momentary calm,
then
countless feet move 
ever onward
rain on all

Shared

Turn around —
The morning sun.
Light and warmth —
Reflected.
Upturned face —
Full moon.

Shared

Song

 

There but for the pelting rain
There but for the driving wind
There but for the darkening clouds
It was a beautiful day.

There but for the empty shoes
There but for the empty bed
There but for the cold dim room
It was a beautiful day.

It was a beautiful day
It was a beautiful day
It was a beautiful day
Because you were in my heart.

 

-M.

 “That we are more concerned with generating profits than saving people, is perhaps the greatest condemnation that can be made of our generation.”

— Mia Mottley, prime minister of Barbados

 “Being popular and well liked is not in your best interest…”

“If you behave in a manner pleasing to most, then you are probably doing something wrong.

Taking into account the public’s regrettable lack of taste, it is incumbent on you to not fit in.”


-- Janeane Garofalo

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

True beauty does not strictly adhere to the Ancient Greek standard.

Love doesn’t require 

a personal relationship; 

love is 

a personal relationship.

"And by the way, authoritarianism and fascism are not ideologies. They’re a process for taking power. A leader who identifies himself with one group at the expense of another [group] that then becomes a scapegoat, who thinks he’s above the law, criticizes the press, and is part of a group of other leaders like that who support each other."

— Madeleine Albright
