QUOTE : <i>...eventually tides will be the only calendar you believe in…<br />And someone’s face, whom you love, will be as a star<br />Both intimate and ultimate, <br />And you will be heart-shaken and respectful. <br /><br />And you will hear the air itself, like a beloved, whisper<br />Oh let me, for a while longer, enter the two<br />Beautiful bodies of your lungs...<br /><br />Look, and look again.<br />This world is not just a little thrill for your eyes.<br /><br />It’s more than bones.<br />It’s more than the delicate wrist with its personal pulse.<br />It’s more than the beating of a single heart.<br />It’s praising.<br />It’s giving until the giving feels like receiving.<br />You have a life- just imagine that!<br />You have this day, and maybe another, and maybe<br />Still another…<br /><br />And I have become the child of the clouds, and of hope.<br />I have become the friend of the enemy, whoever that is.<br />I have become older and, cherishing what I have learned, <br />I have become younger.<br /><br />And what do I risk to tell you this, which is all I know?<br />Love yourself. Then forget it. Then, love the world. </i>
