If this turns out to be SOMETHING…

Dear love, see:

I don’t know what it takes to be awake in the lonesomeness of the night,

but I do know, for real,

that — one could be wrong, anyway —

the sound of the voice of your innermost feelings is as familiar, to me,

as the size of my ears. When you get this

message, write me back but, I beg your indulgence, keep the later to

Your Self.

Poet Maya Angelou

Dear Reader: A Message To Whom It May Concern

I don’t know what you are thinking or doing currently. But, you know what? It doesn’t have to be perfect all the time. Even if you aim for perfection, you can’t always be 100% perfect. Perfection is Lord’s; thus its divinityship’s attribute. Importantly, just get started. Today could be one of the best days to start again for yesterday is already gone. So, don’t wait till tomorrow for it lies, somewhere, in the future which, one could say, is relatively uncertain, yet unknown, and unpredictable. When you start, at present, let you have it a the back of your mind that, as humans, we could be fallible. Couldn’t we? While failure, at some instances of life, is inevitably acceptable, one has to strive to grow — continually — every passing day.
