Just the other day, I was in my neighborhood Starbucks, waiting for the post office to open. I was enjoying a chocolatey
cafe mocha when it occurred to me that to drink a mocha is to gulp down the entire history of the New World. From the
Spanish exportation of Aztec cacao, and the Dutch invention of the chemical process for making cocoa, on down to the
capitalist empire of Hershey, PA, and the lifestyle marketing of Seattle's Starbucks, the modern mocha is a bittersweet
concoction of imperialism, genocide, invention, and consumerism served with whipped cream on top.

It's just like when you've got some coffee that's too black, which means it's too strong. What do you do? You integrate it
with cream, you make it weak. But if you pour too much cream in it, you won't even know you ever had coffee. It used to be
hot, it becomes cool. It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.

The next thing I remembered was Reyes smiling down at me as the sun filtered into his apartment, his hair mussed, his lids
hooded with the thick remnants of sleep. I stretched as those three little words that every girl longs to hear slipped from his
mouth with effortless ease. As though they did every day. As though they didn't mean the world to me.
With one corner of his mouth tipping sensually, he asked, "Want some coffee?"
And I fell.

6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days,

or what day it is now.

Another vagabond
lost to love.
4am alone and on my way.

These are my finest moments.
I scrub my skin
to rid me from
you
and I still dont know why I cried.
It was just something in the way you took my heart and rearranged my insides and I couldnt recognise the emptiness you
left me with when you were done. Maybe you thought my insides would fit better this way, look better this way, to you and
us and all the rest.
But then you must have changed your mind
or made a wrong
because why did you
leave?

I replace cafs with crowded bars and empty roads with broken bottles
and this town is healing me slowly but still not slow or fast enough because theres no right way to do this.
There is no right way to do this.
There is no right way to do this.

But there are people who take salt with their coffee. They say it gives a tang, a savour, which is peculiar and fascinating. In
the same way there are certain places, surrounded by a halo of romance, to which the inevitable disillusionment you
experience on seeing them gives a singular spice. You had expected something wholly beautiful and you get an impression
which is infinitely more complicated than any that beauty can give you. It is the weakness in the character of a great man
which may make him less admirable but certainly more interesting.

American coffee can be a pale solution served at a temperature of 100

degrees centigrade in plastic thermos cups, usually obligatory in railroad
stations for purposes of genocide, whereas coffee made with an American
percolator, such as you find in private houses or in humble luncheonettes,
served with eggs and bacon, is delicious, fragrant, goes down like pure
spring water, and afterwards causes severe palpitations, because one cup
contains more caffeine than four espressos.

Quotes About Coffee
This coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move like the battalions
of the Grand Army on the battlefield, and the battle takes place. Things remembered arrive at full gallop, ensign to the wind.
The light cavalry of comparisons deliver a magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of logic hurry up with their train and
ammunition, the shafts of wit start up like sharpshooters. Similes arise, the paper is covered with ink; for the struggle
commences and is concluded with torrents of black water, just as a battle with powder.

The challenge lies in knowing how to bring this sort of day to a close. His mind has been wound to a pitch of concentration
by the interactions of the office. Now there are only silence and the flashing of the unset clock on the microwave. He feels as
if he had been playing a computer game which remorselessly tested his reflexes, only to have its plug suddenly pulled from
the wall. He is impatient and restless, but simultaneously exhausted and fragile. He is in no state to engage with anything
significant. It is of course impossible to read, for a sincere book would demand not only time, but also a clear emotional lawn
around the text in which associations and anxieties could emerge and be disentangled. He will perhaps only ever do one
thing well in his life.
For this particular combination of tiredness and nervous energy, the sole workable solution is wine. Office civilisation could
not be feasible without the hard take-offs and landings effected by coffee and alcohol.

There has never been a 'war on drugs'! In our history we can only see an ongoing conflict amongst various drug users and
producers. In ancient Mexico the use of alcohol was punishable by death, while the ritualistic use of mescaline was highly
worshipped. In 17th century Russia, tobacco smokers were threatened with mutilation or decapitation, alcohol was legal. In
Prussia, coffee drinking was prohibited to the lower classes, the use of tobacco and alcohol was legal.

For more than three decades, coffee has captured my imagination because it is a beverage about individuals as well as
community. A Rwandan farmer. Eighty roast masters at six Starbucks plants on two continents. Thousands of baristas in 54
countries. Like a symphony, coffee's power rests in the hands of a few individuals who orchestrate its appeal. So much can
go wrong during the journey from soil to cup that when everything goes right, it is nothing short of brilliant! After all, coffee
doesn't lie. It can't. Every sip is proof of the artistry -- technical as well as human -- that went into its creation.

I cleaned the shit off my pink high-tops and drove home, stopping for an espresso at the coffeehouse across from the
college. Men and women were hunched over copies of Jean Paul Sartre and writing in their journals. Most wore the thin-
rimmed tortoiseshell glasses favored by intellectuals. Their clothes were faded to a precisely fashionable degree; you can
buy them that way from catalogs now, new clothes processed to look old. The intellectuals looked at me in my overalls the
way such people inevitably look at farmers.
I dumped a lot of sugar in my espresso and sipped it delicately at a corner table near the door. I looked at them the way

Pretty quickly, I stopped seeing the company as an engine of community. Instead, I saw it as a mythmaker offering only an
illusion of belonging and meeting its customers' desire for connections in form, maybe, but surely not in substance. Once I
came to this conclusion, I started to dig deeper into the company's other promises--great working conditions, musical
discovery, fair treatment of farmer, and concern for the environment. Every time I went excavating, the stories turned out to
be more complex, more heavily edited, and more ambiguous than I had first thought. Each time, it became clear that
Starbucks fulfilled its many promises only in the thinnest, most transitory of ways and that people's desires went largely
unfulfilled.

At Rainbow Cake, January's special flavors would be dark chocolate and coffee, those pick-me-ups we all needed to start
the day- or a new year. To me, their toasty-toasty flavors said that even if you only had a mere handful of beans and your life
went up in flames, you could still create something wonderful.
A little trial by fire could do you good. After all, if it worked so well with raw cacao and coffee beans, it could work for others,
including me.

I was driven to go into book writing by the very nature of journalism and blogging. Both are ephemeral. Journalists and
bloggers can have humongous egos. But in the end, what they write is really a passing show. I wanted something more
lasting a record of sorts, something people can look back to and relish again like hot, homebrewed coffee.

Soy milk and two sugars." Just this past week, Rachel had become convinced that how people took their coffee gave some
secret insight into their characters. Were people who took their coffee black unyielding? Did people who liked their coffee
with milk and no sugar have mother issues? She had a notebook behind the coffee counter in which she wrote her findings.
Willa decided to keep her on her toes by making up a different request every day.
Rachel walked back to the coffee bar to write that down in her notebook. "Hmm, interesting," she said seriously, as if it
made all the sense in the world, as if she'd finally figured Willa out.

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is
you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember,
some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.
Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to
say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you
give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just
because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe
in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly,
keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.

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, fabulous?' Actually,
who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were
born to make 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.

of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender

bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel

that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.
To think only the best, to work only for the best,

and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past

and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself

that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,

not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen
Of meadow flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been
Of yellow leaves and gossamer

In autumns that there were
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair

Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see
For still there are so many things

That I have never seen
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green

Of people long ago
And people that will see a world
That I shall never know
But all the while I sit and think

There should be a statute of limitation on grief. A rulebook that says it is all right to wake up crying, but only for a month.
That after 42 days you will no longer turn with your heart racing, certain you have heard her call out your name. That there
will be no fine imposed if you feel the need to clean out her desk; take down her artwork from the refrigerator; turn over a
school portrait as you pass - if only because it cuts you fresh again to see it. That it's okay to measure the time she has been

I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I
have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his
highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with
the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to
ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.

There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione's arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck
and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such
enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet.
"Is this the moment?" Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other
still more firmly and swayed on the spot, he raised his voice. "OI! There's a war going on here!"
Ron and Hermione broke apart, their arms still around each other.
"I know, mate," said Ron, who looked as though he had recently been hit on the back of the head with a Bludger, "so it's
now or never, isn't it?"
"Never mind that, what about the Horcrux?" Harry shouted. "D'you think you could just --- just hold it in, until we've got the
diadem?"
"Yeah --- right --- sorry ---" said Ron, and he and Hermione set about gathering up fangs, both pink in the face.

sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and
resentful I have been, but never inconstant. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone, I think and plan. Have you
not seen this? Can you fail to have understood my wishes? I had not waited even these ten days, could I have read your
feelings, as I think you must have penetrated mine. I can hardly write. I am every instant hearing something which
overpowers me. You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of that voice when they would be lost on others. Too
good, too excellent creature! You do us justice, indeed. You do believe that there is true attachment and constancy among
men. Believe it to be most fervent, most undeviating, in F. W.
I must go, uncertain of my fate; but I shall return hither, or follow your party, as soon as possible. A word, a look, will be
enough to decide whether I enter your father's house this evening or never.

When someone cries so hard that it hurts their throat, it is out of frustration or knowing that no matter what you can do or
attempt to do can change the situation. When you feel like you need to cry, when you want to just get it out, relieve some of
the pressure from the inside - that is true pain. Because no matter how hard you try or how bad you want to, you can't. That
pain just stays in place. Then, if you are lucky, one small tear may escape from those eyes that water constantly. That one
tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape. Although it's just a small tear, it is the heaviest thing in the
world. And it doesn't do a damn thing to fix anything.

He dug so deeply into her sentiments that in search of interest he found love, because by trying to make her love him he
ended up falling in love with her. Petra Cotes, for her part, loved him more and more as she felt his love increasing, and that
was how in the ripeness of autumn she began to believe once more in the youthful superstition that poverty was the
servitude of love. Both looked back then on the wild revelry, the gaudy wealth, and the unbridled fornication as an
annoyance and they lamented that it had cost them so much of their lives to find the paradise of shared solitude. Madly in
love after so many years of sterile complicity, they enjoyed the miracle of living each other as much at the table as in bed,
and they grew to be so happy that even when they were two worn-out people they kept on blooming like little children and
playing together like dogs.

The elevator arrived with a final groan. Jace unlatched the gate and slid it open. The inside reminded Clary of a birdcage, all
black metal and decorative bits of gilt. "I guessed," he said, latching the door behind them. "It seemed like the most likely
explanation."
"You guessed? You must have been pretty sure, considering you could have killed me."
He pressed a button in the wall, and the elevator lurched into action with a vibrating groan that she felt all through the
bones in her feet. "I was ninety percent sure."
"I see," Clary said.
There must have been something in her voice, because he turned to look at her. Her hand cracked across his face, a slap that
rocked him back on his heels. He put a hand to his cheek, more in surprise than pain. "What the hell was that for?"
The other ten percent," she said, and they rode the rest of the way down to the street in silence.

I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well. He'll hold up a flower and
say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist
take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is
available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is ... I can
appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the
cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one
centimeter; there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the
flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a
question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which
the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don't understand
how it subtracts.

Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: 'You are in
the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination.
We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the
choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being
taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors.
It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave
and find ways of educating yourself educating your own judgements. Those that stay must remember, always, and all the
time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society.

I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing
living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual,
from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an
athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of
desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.

higher truth. Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. The church consists of a brotherhood of imperfect, simple
souls wanting only to be a voice of compassion in a world spinning out of control.

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't
handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things
that youve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share
hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life
has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you cant wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your
excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of
yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and
show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or
competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think
of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk
become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so
clear and vivid its like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where
before it was infrequent or didnt exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long days work
and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, theres no need for continuous conversation, but you find youre
quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know
they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you
do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your
heart knowing that theres a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that
you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure thats so
real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the
end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part
of your life.

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person
who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change
your life.
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you
awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another
layer of yourself to you, and then leave.
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your
heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then
introduce you to your spiritual master...

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure
of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries;
avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless,
airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be
vulnerable.

here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we
open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our
glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential
to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace
life.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.

without knowing what's going to happen next.

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its
yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are
here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let
yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself
you tasted as many as you could.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we
open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our
glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential
to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace
life.

There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings
remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to
remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will
be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away,
but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced
consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore
it. God knows thats what everyone else does.

All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you
will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse
and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you
are a writer.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.

Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like
happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication
to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must
happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your
conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the
long-runin the long-run, I say!success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it

Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-
rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes
from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that
call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real
trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or
abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I
deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life
because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our
existence.

It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us
will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know.
It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls
down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, andin spite of True Romance magazineswe shall all someday look back on our
lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonelyat least, not all the timebut
essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect
yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.--Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember'd!
William Shakespeare, Hamlet

Stop fighting me!" he said, trying to pull on the arm he held.
He was in a precarious position himself, straddling the rail as he tried to lean over far enough to get me and actually hold
onto me.
Let go of me! I yelled back.
But he was too strong and managed to haul most of me over the rail, enough so that I wasnt in total danger of falling again.
See, heres the thing. In that moment before I let go, I really had been contemplating my death. Id come to terms with it
and accepted it. I also, however, had known Dimitri might do something exactly like this. He was just that fast and that good.
That was why I was holding my stake in the hand that was dangling free.
I looked him in the eye. "I will always love you."
Then I plunged the stake into his chest.
It wasnt as precise a blow as I would have liked, not with the skilled way he was dodging. I struggled to get the stake in deep
enough to his heart, unsure if I could do it from this angle. Then, his struggles stopped. His eyes stared at me, stunned, and
his lips parted, almost into a smile, albeit a grisly and pained one.
"Thats what I was supposed to say. . . he gasped out.
Those were his last words.

When someone you love dies, and you're not expecting it, you don't lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long
timethe way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and
drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comeswhen there's a particular
missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she's gone, foreverthere comes another day, and another

Pain is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do
without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I
can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels
like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings
growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces.

that is what Auguste Rodin was-can look at an old woman, protray her exactly as she is...and force the viewer to see the
pretty girl she used to be...and more than that, he can make anyone with the sensitivity of an armadillo, or even you, see
that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. He can make you
feel the quiet, endless tragedy that there was never a girl born who ever grew older than eighteen in her heart...no matter

and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They

This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary
awareness comes as an unexpected visitor...Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought,

has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Jalaluddin Rumi
