Find Your Light; They Can't Love You

My Whole Life Had Been Spent Waiting For An Epiphany, A Manifestation Of God's Presence, The Kind Of Transcendent, Magical Experience That Lets You See Your Place In The Big Picture. And That Is What I Had With My First [compost] Heap.

Marriage Is Such Hard Work. And It's Full Of Rage And Real Human Drama.

One Of My First Role Models Was Eugene Lang, A Wealthy Businessman Who Went Back To His Elementary School In East Harlem And Addressed The Sixth-grade Class. He Looked Out At That Sea Of Faces And Said, "if Any Of You Wants To Go To College, I Will Pay For It." When I Read That, I Burst Into Tears. It Was So Generous And So Basic. Not Fluffy. I Can't Understand Why We Scrimp On Education And Shortchange Our Kids. Why Would The Citizenry Do That To The People Who Are Going To Inherit Its Republic?

Do I Understand This Right? I'm Being Marked Down?

Just Remember, During The Winter, Far Beneath The Bitter Snow, That There's A Seed That With The Sun's Love In The Spring Becomes A Rose.
