"The things you do not have to say make you rich.
Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk.
Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing.
And things you know before you hear them - those are you.
Those are why you are in the world." - William Stafford

The Motions - #1

We go through the motions of birth and death - our two guarantees. When death comes expectedly, at a ripe old age, we're often peacefully stoic...going through the motions in order to respectfully conclude one's biography.

On Your Toes.

This was meant to be more than an image of my crotch. It's finally a New Year. More important than drinking and cheers-ing, and on a personal note...I am on my toes. Everyday, I will vow to be thankful for balance and to seek clarity for things which are out of my control. Even more, I will look for beauty in chaos. I will look back on last year only once, just long enough to allow myself to admit that it was rough...shake it off, and move forward.

I will appreciate everyone I care about in my life. I will ask for help when I need to, and help others when asked. I will cry if I have to. I will laugh, love, and learn. I will write and speak reassuring cliches (I will then ask for forgiveness for said cliches, should they be exceptionally terrible). I will do my best to be honest with myself, and with others. And for as long as I can - I will run, walk, and dance. I will stay on my toes.

Here's to 2011....
