Maya Angelou
One of many countless words of wisdom from this remarkable woman who
graced humanity with her powerful spirit. Thank you Maya Angelou for
inspiring and moving us towards the light with your life's journey.
I was so lucky to hear her speak at Ithaca commencement 1999. Very saddened to hear of her passing today....what an unbelievable human being.

Walt Whitman iPad inspiration
Have you seen the recent out-of-this-world iPad commercial? Of course the Apple gurus of advertising have done it again and this mini masterpiece is breathtaking. It features a speech by Walt Whitman that Robin Williams’ character gives in Dead Poets Society. It's the last line that completely slays me. Enjoy.
O Me! O Life!
BY WALT WHITMAN
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

The Secret
I started reading the Secret today! I think it came out in 2006, and people have been Secreting for years after Oprah told us to, but I am FINALLY taking the plunge and already loving every page.
And this. This is another lovely little image of the LEAP we must take! Take it! Go now go forth with good intent and LEAP!

A Unicorn Leaning to Light
Today's post is dedicated to another warrior of light, a unicorn very dear to my heart who had a moment of sparkling in the city of frustration and wonder.
Check out his sweet story about giving away some spring tulips on the express train to Queens HERE
Love you Miles!
