Only to leave such traces upon earth
As smoke leaves in the air, or foam in the sea”

The End of the Morning Run
“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.
–Abraham Lincoln

Photographer Unknown, (The Stream)
“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.”
