It's late, I'm very tired, my brain is handing control over to pain meds. almost as quickly as I type. The following words ARE NOT MINE. But they touched me today when I needed a lift. The words came from Robert Lee Fulghum, one of my top favorite authors of all time. At the moment, I can offer nothing more profound, intelligent or uplifting than this. Please, visit his site. You won't regret it.

Go on. Escape over the walls of your asylum.
Go slowly. On the side of your cart, write ONWARD!
Pull the cart yourself.
Collect kindling for your fire as you go,
But expect spontaneous combustion.
Live in the tent of the invisible traveler.
Abandon irony; cage ennui; shrug off the pale clothes of the mundane.
Nail angst to the floor and stomp it flat.
Set aside the dead brick of certainty.
Eat the bread of uncertainty for lunch.
Carry the wine of carelessness and drink deep.
Sing. Dance. You are the only audience who cares how well.
Look through the lens of passion and joy.
Be a-mused – the muse that laughs.
Always ask the next question.
Always take the long way around.
Always turn back two blocks short of the abyss.
Go on. You may.
Be as many people as need be.
Never go back the way you came.
Go on. Do it yourself.
Go on. Never quit.
Go on. Never finish.
Go on. Flourish
