Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.
Marsha Norman

I am accustomed to sleep and in my dreams to imagine the same things that lunatics imagine when awake.
Rene Descartes

I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.
M. C. Escher

My Creed
In some way, however small and secret, each of us is a little mad...Everyone is lonely at the bottom and cries to be understood; but we can never entirely understand someonelse, and each of us remains part stranger, even to those who love us..It is the weak who are cruel; gentleness is to be expected only from the strong...Those who do not know fear are not really brave, for courage is the capacity to confront what can be imagined. You can understand people better if you look at them, no matter how old or impressive they may be, as if they are children. For most of us never mature; we simply grow taller. Happiness comes only when we push our brains and hearts to the farthest reaches of which we are capable. The purpose of life is to matter--to count, to stand for something, to have it make some difference that we lived at all." Anonymous

Keep your friends close but your enemies closer. The Godfather

As a trade unionist reflecting on our blood-stained history, the sit down strikes, the men and women murdered by the bosses goons and police, the blood shed and tears sacrificed by other generations for us, I am angered by this generation of so-called leadership in our movement so willing to piss on that sacrifice. From the top of the House of Labor to the bottom; I am shamed by those who have deserted workers in battle; who have lost the reality of class struggle, and contaminated our precious union with mirror images of the Bastards of the Boardroom.

"Pray ye that your flight not be in winter..."

"When facism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis 1935

Ay, but I fear you speak upon the rack,Where men enforced do speak anything
The Merchant of Venice

Your dextrous wit will haunt us long, wounding our grief with yesterday. Your laughter is a broken song, and death has found you kind an gay. Siegfried Sassoon "Elegy"

Where do they go, the people who sail into our lives like green leaves and disappear like snow? Rod McKuen

In moments of discouragement and even despair, certain little things are remembered: laughter, the face of someone dear to you, or even a tree in the wind, anything dearly loved. When these things are remembered, the darkness and despair leave and only the wonder remains. Unknown

What thou lovest well remains; the rest is dross. What thou lovest well shall not be reft from thee. What thou lovest well is thy tru heritage. Ezra Pound

Flowers leave their scent on the hands that hold them.
