Jump-Rope Rhyme (Tom Hansen)
Tat tvam asi: thou art that- that leaf, that tree, that cow, that cat, that cloud, that sky, that moon, that sun, that you, that I- for all are one. So here you are and there you go and who you were you hardly know. I think this I is only me: a drip, a drop, but not the sea. Yet when I wake from all these dreams, then like the snake, I'll shed what seems: this mask, this skin, this ball and chain. I will begin to fall like rain. Our heart's last home: the wind-whipped foam, the sweet, deep sea. Tat tvam asi. "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
"Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. " "You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. " George Bernard Shaw |

LOVE'S PHILOSOPHY
by Percy Bysshe Shelley I The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the Ocean, The winds of Heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one spirit meet and mingle. Why not I with thine?- - II See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another; No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea: What is all this sweet work worth If thou kiss not me? "The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it."
