Droplets Forming: Take me back

Thursday, July 2, 2009

Take me back

Take me back
to simple.

Take me
and return
to humble and quiet faith.

To quiet and humble
sweet and waiting
patience and hoping
white.

Let my arrogance and force,
my pride and envy
drop from my shoulders
ease my burden.

Give me
gentle joy of being.
No more
fearful waiting.

Soft white curtains billow
in the sanctuary of my mind. Sought
and seeking
to escape frought
and fleeting.

Take me back
freedom.

Quotes

"Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas." ~ Alfred Whitney Griswold

"If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it." ~ Albert Einstein

"We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be taught, he can be killed and forgotten but, 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them...but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it...ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love." ~ Evey Hammond in V for Vendetta

" Ideas are somewhat like babies--they are born small, immature, and shapeless. They are promise rather than fulfillment. In the innovative company executives do not say, "This is a damn-fool idea." Instead they ask, "What would be needed to make this embryonic, half-baked, foolish idea into something that makes sense, that is an opportunity for us?" " ~ Peter Drucker, The Frontiers of Management (1986)
