A Door just opened on a street -- by Emily Dickinson


A Door just opened on a street
-- by Emily Dickinson



A Door just opened on a street --
I -- lost -- was passing by --
An instant's Width of Warmth disclosed --
And Wealth -- and Company.

The Door as instant shut -- And I --
I -- lost -- was passing by --
Lost doubly -- but by contrast -- most --
Informing -- misery --

The Milk Bar: I Never Thought I Would...

I Never Thought I Would...

The Milk Bar is a wonderful blog that i visit now and then,
today it gave me pause and spurred me to comment
on things that i never thought would happen in my life:
=============================================================

 . . . be bald, long shoulder-length hair was the norm between the
ages of fifteen and fifty. (i'm sixty now and am used to being the old man in the room).

 . . . get used to being the old man in the room. i remember how i bristled the first time i was referred to as "sir" by a younger man. for the first half of my life the refrain was "don't trust anyone over thirty".

 . . . trust anyone over thirty. it seems that now-a-days i don't personally know anyone younger than thirty. so, i'm guessing that if i ever trust anyone again it would have to be someone older than thirty, and that includes trusting myself.

 . . . trust myself to do all the right things. i spent most of my youth being the bad boy, and most of the time since then learning how to be a man. now that i've almost got it, i'm nearing the end of my life, something that seemed so remote at one point, something i couldn't accept.

 . . . accept that my life will end, soon, rather than later. i'm in no rush mind you. its sort of like being on stand-by at an airport. it just is. and not such a bad thing after all.



thank you very much  The Milk Bar, for your post,  you gave me food for thought.

Urban Dictionary: Abraham Lincoln's Internet Wisdom

Urban Dictionary: Abraham Lincoln's Internet Wisdom: "Abraham Lincoln's Internet Wisdom 33 up, 4 down
Shortly after the rise of the blogosphere Abraham Lincoln hosted a dinner party at his Cabin Estate and birthplace in Hodgenville, Kentucky.

After this dinner Abraham Lincoln read from his unpublished memoir: A Humble Man's Advice For Life in the Information Age. By the fireside he read many portions, but the section that most impressed his guests was this one, simple sentence:

"The thing about quotes on the internet is that you cannot confirm their validity."

For the sake of brevity many simply use the acronym ALIW when referring to this tidbit of wisdom.
Luke: Did you read what Justin Bieber said in that TMZ article?
Steve: Yeah, but I'm going with Abraham Lincoln's Internet Wisdom on this one"
