Ralph Waldo Emerson – Compensation
From Essays: First Series (1841)
The wings of Time are black and white,
Pied with morning and with night.
Mountain tall and ocean deep
Trembling balance duly keep.
In changing moon, in tidal wave,
Glows the feud of Want and Have.
Gauge of more and less through space
Electric star and pencil plays.
The lonely Earth amid the balls
That hurry through the eternal halls,
A makeweight flying to the void,
Supplemental asteroid,
Or compensatory spark,
Shoots across the neutral Dark.
Man’s the elm, and Wealth the vine;
Stanch and strong the tendrils twine:
Though the frail ringlets thee deceive,
None from its stock that vine can reave.
Fear not, then, thou child infirm,
There’s no god dare wrong a worm.
Laurel crowns cleave to deserts,
And power to him who power exerts;
Hast not thy share? On winged feet,
Lo! it rushes thee to meet;
And all that Nature made thy own,
Floating in air or pent in stone,
Will rive the hills and swim the sea,
And, like thy shadow, follow thee.
Quote of the Week
Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Tiësto presents Allure feat Julie Thompson – Somewhere Inside
Who am I, love? What am I supposed to be?
One life alone. Oh, somehow it’s made for me
What do I do? What can I say?
It’s nothing new. The choice was made
But what if I lose my way?
And run right into you
Deep inside we’ll never be anything other than lonely
Tell me what does it take?
To breathe it into you
Weak inside we’ll never be anything other than lonely
One blinking star. Still feels how it used to feel
It’s all so wrong. No easy way to believe
I wanna run. I wanna hide
What I’ve become? Now you’re no longer mine
I wanna feel. Something that’s real
Somewhere inside
Quote of the Week
Who can say what’s best?
That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much.
My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.
~ Haruki Murakami
