Three Qoutes...

Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing.
-Bill Cosby

"Out of the silver heat mirage he ran.  The sky burned, and under him the paving was a black mirror reflecting sun-fire.  Sweat sprayed his skin with each foot strike so that he ran in a hot mist of his own creation.  With each slap on the softened asphalt, his soles absorbed heat that rose through his arches and ankles and the stems of his shins.  It was a carnival of pain, but he loved each stride because running distilled him to his essence and the heat hastened this distillation."
          - James Tabor, from "The Runner," a short story

"I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be."

-Bob Dylan
