Favorite Quote:
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. <br /> Mark Twain<br /> <br /> &quot;You did in your twenties what you knew how to do. And when you knew better, you did better. And you should not be judged for the person who you were, but for the person you are trying to be and the woman that you are now.&quot;<br /> --Maya Angelou speaking to Oprah Winfrey

Dreams are infatuated faded fantasies
but the dream I had was unknown.
I awoke from a dream,
unsure of its plot.
The dream evaporated from my mind,
like the steam from a hot spring,
into the cold air of reality
and it fell like grains of sand
into a bottomless pit.
I felt at loss for not knowing,
yet it holds no value.
