    Just be. Don't try to be yourself, because you already are. Balance your spirit and empower your gifts. If it is in you and you can feel it, see it, and want to share it, then learn to understand it, not become it. We are born with all the wisdom in the world; it's up to us to open the door inch by inch throughout life.

    Coffee is real good when you drink it gives you time to think. It's a lot more than just a drink; it's something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.
