The first glance was an alert glance. It's better to be an authentic loser than a false success, and to die alive than to live dead. In an ocean of absurdity, fins still are needed. Don't let time run if you don't follow. Facing time and reality, what can we do with our instants and our dreams? I don't know if I have legs or wings as I pass low over a wide range of ever-changing landscape. The work under my hand becomes a work of art when it starts to speak to me in a language I didn't know before but which I understand. ("Extracts of Existence")

We grow in increments but manifest ourselves in the moment of comparison. Great events measure the fact; they do not nurture it. The blunder in life is to mistake this measuring for the growth itself. To say it in another way, grand events manifest the accumulation of all our smallest moments more than they add to our totality. Who we are does not make us; that which makes us does not reveal our growth ... but like clouds which gather energy silently and invisibly, and in an instant, bond, flash and split the tree ... but who cares for the history of that force as much as its demonstration? -- from the E-book, "A Human Strategy" http://www.netbox.com/matberry/

the path of the rightous man, is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyrrany of evil men. Blessid is he who in the name of chairity and good will shepords the weak through the vally of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost soul. I will strike down upon thee with great vengence and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers, you will know my name is the crow, when I lay my vengence upon thee.
