The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face. It's the ones that fall from your heart and cover your soul.

6. Good to be here with the good hearts. Nothing but snapping and growling elsewhere. What gives?

3. More about tears from RFK on the terrible day that MLK was murdered:

My favorite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote:

In our sleep, pain which cannot forget,
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom,
through the awful grace of God.

More of the background of that statement and the circumstances under which he delivered that news:

April 4th, 1968, another day of horror and grief. Two months later, he would be felled by a bullet, like King, like his brother John, like Evers, like so many others.

As we approach the 50th anniversary of the death of JFK, let us not forget our current blessing:

4. Oh, freshwest so sad and yet beautiful.

Such an amazing man.

"What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black."

For Bobby~


The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert Frost~

He slept to soon, fresh. Far to soon. They all did.

5. A favorite poem about our lives, our duties, and how brief life is.

That one is certainly one of my favorite, more haunting than The road Less Travelled.

They have been very big influences, like much of another great New England writer, Thoreau. I've always kept a copy of Thoreau's works wherever I've gone.

7. Robert Frost's one of my favorites also. I used to recite that poem repeatedly

when I was exhausted and had to push through it. I shudder to think of how I used to have to drive in that condition.
