Sand Dunes of Time

I let impatience get the better of me. It’s what I always did. I slurped the last drop of water as the scorching hot sun burned my already blistered skin. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could last exposed in the never-ending sand dunes. Each one bled together. My eyes had begun to fail […]

“The answer you seek lies in learning to combine the power of reason with the passion of emotion. If you let reason alone control your choices, you lose the power of intuition. If you let emotion control your choices, you will be a slave to every minor tragedy.”
Roy Huff, The First Pillar

“One may not be aware of the impact of one’s choices, but they can have a cumulative effect.”
Roy Huff, The First Pillar

“If you let reason alone control your choices, you lose the power of intuition. If you let emotion control your choices, you will be a slave to every minor tragedy.”

“This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.”
William Shakespeare, Hamlet

“To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul - would you understand why that's much harder?”
Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“When we are true to ourselves, and follow these impulses that sweat from our compressed and broken souls we may just find the beauty, and the oh-so amazing way life can sneak up and smash us in the face!”
Danielle Rohr, Denali Skies

“The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost

Susanna Mahoney Hi Roy, uncanny all my favorite authors too, a Bronx gal spending time in the city Libraries, lol. Thank you for the likes, and stars, works in progress, except Message to my Children. Honestly I have pure tears in my eyes because no one see my works and no reviews, so no critique, no improvements. Is still write to heal and share with others. So I have dabbled, and rather promote authors instead. Of course you always welcome to come to the wall MTMC2FE and share all your links. This day we are having International Poets and later a comic artist. Have a wonderful St. Patrick's day. Thanks Susanna a/k/a Cat
