“The aim of life is self-development. To realise one’s nature perfectly-that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one’s self. Of course they are charitable. They feed the hungry, and clothe the beggar. But their own souls starve, and are naked.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

That Time
I was trying to remember
that time
Santa left me a dollie
and the box had a dent
and my dad said
Rudolph had stepped on it
and how special I felt.
Going back.
Like rewinding old home movies,
faster and more comical.
So much can be missed.
It’s hardly worth remembering
that time
Santa left me a dollie
packaged in a box
Rudolph had stepped upon.

Was grateful to run across an article today that shared Dylan Thomas reciting his villanelle ‘Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night’

Casting Difficulties
All the king’s judges
and all the king’s men
will not put Trump
back together again.
