Excerpts

Strength

Strength is not the ability to suffer
It is the ability to know what you want

Strength is not the ability to shore up another
It is the ability to know the other is powerful

Strength is not the ability to criticize
It is the ability to be understanding

Future Surfer

There is always time
Since consciousness is eternal

What can I do now
To be the surfer I want to be
Three or thirty lifetimes from now?

Perhaps I will go and watch the waves

Why Am I Crying

Why am I crying
When I could be laughing?

I have more practice crying
I must practice laughing
