    Walt Whitman
    “If you want me again look for me under your bootsoles.
    You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,

    Missing me one place search another,
    I stop some where waiting for you”

    Walt Whitman
    “O Me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
    Of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities fill’d with the foolish;
    Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
    Of eyes that vainly crave the light—of the objects mean—of the struggle ever renew’d;
    Of the poor results of all—of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me;
    Of the empty and useless years of the rest—with the rest me intertwined;
    The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?

    Answer.

    That you are here—that life exists, and identity;
    That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.”
    Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

    Albert Einstein
    “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms—this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.”
    Albert Einstein, Living Philosophies

  • #16

    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate:
    I am the captain of my soul.”
    William Ernest Henley, Echoes of Life and Death

    Tui T. Sutherland
    “When the war has lasted twenty years...
    the dragonets will come.
    When the land is soaked in blood and tears...
    the dragonets will come.

    Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue.
    Wings of night shall come to you.
    The largest egg in mountain high
    will give to you the wings of sky.
    For wings of earth, search through the mud
    for an egg the color of dragon blood.
    And hidden alone from the rival queens,
    the SandWing egg awaits unseen.

    Of three queens who blister and blaze and burn,
    two shall die and one shall learn
    if she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher,
    she'll have the power of wings of fire.

    Five eggs to hatch on brightest night,
    five dragons born to end the fight.
    Darkness will rise to bring the light.
    The dragonets are coming....”
    Tui T. Sutherland, The Dragonet Prophecy
