If you know you don't have a win, then there's no use for you being in the game.

I know what falling off the cliff means. I know from being considered a very bright kid to being considered like a moron and dropping out of school.

What I do with my books is to create windows to my world that all may peer into. I share the images, the feelings and thoughts, and, I hope, the delight.

No matter what...ball made my heart beat faster, made me want to jump up and down and be Superman. That's what life was about anyway, being Superman and living like life itself was important. Basketball made my life important.

Everything in life is made up...You make up that you are happy. You make up that you are sad. You make up that you are in love. If you don't make up your own life, who's going to make it up for you? It's bad enough when you die and everybody can make up their own stories about you. —Mr. Hooft

But now, like a fallen sparrow On a golden chain, I'm forever bound in shadow, A prisoner to my pain.

Can you become The hope I need? Can you help me be More than it is written in my future Or past? Is there another me to find?
