Today, the first & last of every Tree/ Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.

This is my life. it is my one time to be me. i want to experience every good thing.

Happiness is a chance to talk to a friend, to hear good music, to have a good glass of wine. Happiness is a chance to be myself and to find people with whom I agree or who I don't agree but I can learn something.

Let's tell the truth to people. When people ask, 'How are you?' have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully. You must know, however, that people will start avaoiding you because, they, too, have knees that pain them and heads that hurt and they don't want to know about yours. But think of it this way: If people avoid you, you will have more time to meditate and do fine research on a cure for whatever truly afflicts you.

The intensity with which young people live demands that they "blank out" as often as possible.

The hope, the hope that lives in the breast of the black American, is just so tremendous that it overwhelms me sometimes.

If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.
