Life is comical

life
is a comedy show.
with clowns bouncing on poles.
dogs walking on two legs.
red nosed reindeer's.
a rainy day quickly changes to a sunny afternoon.
saying silly things.
making a mole out of a mountain.
wishing under the stars.
making pockets out of socks.
crying and then laughing.

Self pity should not be in our vocabulary

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
~ DH Lawrence

We have the greatest capacity to learn from one another, challenge each other, and fight for similar causes. However, our weakness is that sometimes we rarely climb through those walls and break down barriers. We allow ourselves to pity our situation and allow others to feel the same.

My quest is to utilize my mind, my soul, and my being to be the best: seeking out others who see me doing awesome things. My quest will bring me to narrow parts, strange areas but these ventures must be taken in order to breathe freely.

This poem shows me that it is possible; that my life matters. My work has value and I will never back down!

Budget Woes: Day 36

Chicory located nicely by the Capital has become one of my favorite spots to hang and enjoy a lovely cup of coffee. The excitement of people watching is always a joy to see. Amidst the coffee aromas and pastry stickiness, business is as usual. Legislators and staffers walk through place like they own it; passing business cards, snapping keys on their phones, and clapping their heels. These attributes makes me weary every time. 35 days since no budget and all they do is walk around like its free time. People’s lives are at stake and they are playing poker. Someone explain this to me. My grand idea still stands: chain them to their desks with one hand free to sign! Keep them locked until the solution and compromise is made.

human or dancers?

are we human or we dancers? I think we are both. At least, for me. Crazy for life, love, and laughter. Nothing gets me going than having a ball with people. To making it count, for all the moments that have past and all the moments that will come. I must believe in the extraordinary power of humans! If not, then I will truly be lost.
