“Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.” – Christopher Morley
“Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary.” – Albert Einstein
“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” – Albert Einstein
Global Restructuring
I
The young man
Stands expressionless
In front of the shoppe
That sells toys and gadgets
Hawking the plastic pistol
Shooting uniform translucent opals
En mass
II
I sigh
Remembering
The child who danced
And twirled with glee
Waving the tiny looped
Magic wand
Christening each wonder
As she creates it
Biding sweet release
Bisous,
Léa

Thanks Leigh! Is it as hot there as it is here? I think the best place to be today is the beach if I get some work done it will be time to play. 🙂

Possibly a bit.
