I am here for Friends

About Me

"For the world is not painted nor adorned, but is from the beginning beautiful";Ralph Waldo Emerson“Salud to the one who hunches over, who perspires perseverance and who wakes up every day to the relentless sun”. -FARMSWisdom it is that breeds happiness... Wisdom comes to the old. -Sophocles 441 b.c."What is the pride of a man that walks tall And then sees himself start to fall, And finds in an instant understanding Of a painfu1 awareness of burning light. Wondering if this is the essence that life has given to his mold, While his guts full of some kind of indignity Pours out his anguish in nausea, But never his sense of dignity-- While he kneels on bended knees Puking while holding his guts with one hand And the other spread, holding his head up Full of pride to keep from falling into a nasty toilet bowl". -Piri Thomas
