A clouded dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
Sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
It's there that my heart is longing
All for the love of you

A painting hangs on an ivy wall
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home

And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of night
And now I feel you move
Every breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.

Morning is when I am awake and there is a dawn in me……We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look…...To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

Well, not THAT shocked... I used to have "itchy1" as a password based on that little quote...

“I will be what I will to be;
Let failure find its false content
In that poor world, ‘environment,’
But spirit scorns it, and is free.

“It masters time, it conquers space;
It cows that boastful trickster,
Chance,
And bids the tyrant Circumstance
Uncrown, and fill a servant’s place.

“The human Will, that force unseen,
The offspring of a deathless Soul,
Can hew a way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.

“Be not impatient in delay,
But wait as one who understands;
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.”

The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent, seeing only the apparent effects of things and not the things themselves, talk of luck, of fortune, and chance. Seeing someone grow rich, they say, “How lucky he is!” Observing another become intellectual, they explain, “How highly favored he is!” And noting the saintly character and wide influence of another, they remark, “How chance aids him at every turn!” They do not see the trials and failures and struggles which these people have voluntarily encountered in order to gain their experience; have no knowledge of the sacrifices they have made, of the undaunted efforts they have put forth, of the faith they have exercised, that they might overcome the apparently insurmountable, and realize the Vision of their heart. They do not know the darkness and the heartaches; they only see the light and joy, and call it “luck”; do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal, and call it “good fortune”; do not understand the process, but only perceive the result, and call it “chance.”

In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result.

Chance is not. “Gifts,” powers, material, intellectual, and spiritual possessions are the fruits of effort; they are thoughts completed, objects accomplished, visions realized.

The Vision that I glorify in my mind, the Ideal that I enthrone in my heart — this I build my life by, this I become.

O.K., I know that you are confused, so I'll give you a break from this kind of stuff - it's important to give the people what they want and support the quality of this section of BOL:

Don't take it personally Maria. Much like the childhood game of "Telephone", many things do not end up as we originally intended them.


(Playing Well With Others)
I for one, have try to play nicely with others on my "To Do List" in the related thread. I know that sometimes what I say can be misinterpreted and that sometimes I can be in a bad mood and say something that I shouldn't and later regret. I realize my shortcomings and am trying to work on them. Therefore, I try to give others the benefit of the doubt and not take anything too personally. I know too, that is much easier said than done.
