I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Time is the coin of your life. You spend it. Do not allow others to spend it for you. I have written some poetry that I don't understand myself. There are some people who can receive a truth by no other way than to have their understanding shocked and insulted.
Yesterday is done. Tomorrow never comes. Today is here. If you don't know what to do, sit still and listen. A baby is God's opinion that life should go on. Poetry is the opening and closing of a door, leaving those who look through to guess about what is seen during a moment. It is necessary ... for a man to go away by himself ... to sit on a rock ... and ask, 'Who am I, where have I been, and where am I going?” Poetry is an echo asking a shadow to dance. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
Love your neighbor as yourself; but don't take down the fence.
Carl Sandburg
Nothing happens unless first we dream. To work hard, to live hard, to die hard, and then go to hell after all would be too damn hard. I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth. Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by. There are 10 men in me and I do not know or understand one of them. The greatest cunning is to have none at all.
