About Me

..
My new favorite quote:
ATTITUDE
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gifted ability, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace from that day. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is, Attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you....We are in charge of our Attitudes.
- Charles Swindoll

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

CHESS METAPHORS

Chiaroscuro as a chessboard
Souls of coal and snow stand hierarchically
In alternating sunlight and shadow--
Two elements poised in equal quantity
The only such in the tiny square universe

ENOUGH Dammit! --the white queen shrieks--
Chess metaphors are cliché --she decrescendos--
Next I suppose you'll have something about
Mindless pawns sent to their bloody deaths
Or knights vaulting hedgerows of doomed soldiers. Yuk.

So the queen challenges me to a game of her own devising,
And I accept, not wishing to offend.
She explains--it's 1/3 politics, 1/4 love,
1/5 Russian roulette, 1/6 ice dancing.
(That's only 95%, but I hold my varnished tongue.)

At halftime, the white queen twirls her flaming batons
And marches across the board trampling any pawns in
Her crystal-slippered path, unable to hear their
Muffled moaning because that's just....the....way...
she...is, y'know

She lets me win just to give me the frustration of
Never knowing how or why.
I sign the paper that designates me
"Knight of the Realm" and after kissing her
Florid ceremonial hand I take my awkward L-shaped
Steps back home.
