Not A Match

Never let someone be your priority
while allowing yourself to be their option

In The Moment

It's not what you did. It's what you do. Now.

-Michael, in "La Femme Nikita"

Ready

I'm ready to listen.

Are you ready to think?

WIFE: See you at dinner, Johnny. We're very informal.

JOHN DRAKE: Until dinner, then.
[JOHN LEAVES]

HUSBAND: I would have thought you'd learned your lesson with Andrews.

WIFE: Of course, darling. Didn't you?

New Orbit

First love soars rocket-like through virgin space

In whose calm distance no one ever hurled

A mighty missile that would change the face

And outlines of the total outer world.


A boy and girl are there in the beginning,

Untouched, unsure, and yet prepared to try

That rarer atmosphere beyond the spinning

Earth in a dark immensity of sky.


Propelled by violent and split reaction

Of forces stronger than they ever knew

High into heavens, they attain a fraction

Of universal knowledge, vast and true.


Surpassing minor moons, their love gains speed

To reach the most distant star of mutual need.



--Anne Marx

Prior Implication

To pursue wisdom, one must already be somewhat wise.
