Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.
Horace Mann, address at Antioch College, 1859

A Private Moment

As I reclined, writing the whispers of the universe, I looked over the water which rolled and knelled gently against the rocks.  At once, a tiny fish emerged from the waters in a leap.  So spectacularly instantaneous and private was the moment the fish hung on this side of the world that I gasped, realizing that I was the only human on Earth that could have seen it.  I was grateful, and soaked by the energy. 

The impulse drives you to the reason.
