yesterday upon the stair
i met a man who wasn't there

he wasn't there again today
i wish i wish he'd go away



I'm not sure if i got that just right, and i don't know off hand who penned it, but it's just a tidbit that's been stuck in my head since before whenever. Its sort'v philosophical.
 
The Other exists to prove the Self
I am I by controlling They
But this Self looks on that Other
And sees on I and You
And wants no control,
no domination.
You are not the Other
You are You
And I gladly give up I
To be part of You
No more Self and Other
No more I and You
Only WE
Forever
Forever
Forever

Shakespeare, Sonnet 29

When in disgrace with Fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon my self and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least,
Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate,
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

--William Shakespeare in, As You Like It--
All the world's a stage
And all the men and women merely players.

--William Shakespeare in, The Merry Wives of Windsor--
Why, then the world's mine oyster,
Which I with sword will open.
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
