Adversity is a stimulus.

Dance, vaudeville, drama, movies - as a child I loved everything that went on in a theater.

Most poets in their youth begin in adolescent sadness. I find it more rewarding to end in gladness.

Everything that ever happened is still happening. Past, present and future keep happening in the eternity which is Here and Now.

And to Shakespeare I owe my vision of the world as a theater, wherein all humans are acting out their parts.

At every crossroad, be prepared to bump into wonder.

Acclaim is a distraction.
