Ignore the parrots who mindlessly repeat whatever they hear.

Motivation - motive - is a must-have factor in a powerful life.

"The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best."

-Epictetus

I fancied you’d return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)
~ Sylvia Plath

Always and forever, my dear beloveded

"The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best."

-Epictetus

It isn't as pretty as you'd like to
Guess in your memory
You're drunk on your awe to me
It doesn't mean anything at all
Oh comely
All of your friends are
All letting you blow
Bristling and ugly
Bursting with fruits falling
Out from the holes
Of some pretty, bright
And bubbly friend
You could need to say comforting
Things in your ear
But, oh comely
There isn't such one friend
that you could find here
Standing next to me
He's only my enemy
I'll crush him with everything I own

Goldaline, my dear
We will fold and freeze
Together far away
From here there is
Sun and spring
And green forever
But, now we move to
Feel for ourselves inside
Some stranger's stomach
Place your body here
