Premium Member A man is to be pitied when he lacks courage, when the challenge of freedom frightens him
A man is to be pitied when he lacks courage, when the challenge of freedom frightens him, When he chooses to remain on the soft pillows of security, like a prisoner of his own comfort, Watching life through the windows of others, without daring to step onto the ground of truth, Forever a spectator of time, a traveler...

Premium Member a cow at the table
“There’s a cow at the table,” I whispered, not wanting to be rude. It’s horns curled like question marks, which seemed quite Apropos Now that I’ve been to college, I can tell you, there’s a lot that I don’t know. But a cow at the table, no matter how well dressed, left me, well, confused. “How do you Dooooo?”...

Rising to the Challenge
My plant by the window is drooping; Don’t know if it’s thirsty or cold. In the mirror, my body is stooping, More obvious as I grow old. The radio needed replacing; The static was driving us nuts.
