 It is asking your inmost self questions at night
 and then getting up and going to work.

I know I missed the boat called perfection
but my errors are portals of discovery
and there are times
when a little madness sets me free.

"I want my children to have
all the things I couldn't afford.
Then I want to move in with them."

- Phyllis Diller

I know I missed the boat called perfection
but my errors are portals of discovery
and there are times

Golden eagles have an interesting way of mating, where they connect in the air while flying at eighty miles an hour and then they start dropping and they don't stop dropping until the act is completed. So it's not uncommon that they both fall all the way to the ground, hit the ground and both of them die. That's how committed they are to this. I thought to myself, 'Boy, don't we feel like wimps for stopping to answer the phone.' I don't know about you, but if I'm one of these two birds, you're getting close to the ground... I would serioulsy consider fakin' it.

When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
