I am not a smoker…
One man’s reasons for not lighting up in ‘07:
…because when I see someone smoking I wonder why they would do that to themselves.

Poetry that Rhymes
And flows. And builds a bridge. And inspires:
One bird falls
One bird follows
Some are pigeons
Some are swallows
Some are grackles
Rest their souls
They died to protest
Paying tolls

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits
in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
Helen Keller
