"So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key."

Lyrics from Already Gone, The Eagles, 1974 On the Border album



Not keen on the song, but the lyrics are apt.

Shakespeare (on fly fishing I like to think) "And this our life, exempt from public haunt finds tongues in trees and books in running brooks, sermons in stones and good in everything. I would not change it."

From my days at college before I became (not that successfully as yet) a writer I read these words which will keep inspiring me.

From George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman.) Bob: I'm so discouraged. My writing teacher told me my novel is hopeless. Jane: Don't listen to her, Bob. Remember: those who can, do; those who can't, teach.

So I continue to realise my dream.

CjTenorSax: You see things that are and ask Why.

I see things that are not yet and ask why not.

Can't remember who wrote it - I think, Kahil Gilbran. Had it in a small poster when I was a kid. It really, really spoke to me and still does.


I believe that's MLK

Tough Is Just A Soul In Need Of You.
In response to: Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices.
