An infinity of impulses, thoughts, images, desires, wishes, hopes, fears…
TUMBLING THROUGH SPACE

Master and slave
Whose thoughts are these anyway
Did I think them?
Or am I just a repository…some vessel…some container of beauty and ugliness?

"If we wait for the moment when everything is ready, we shall never begin." – Ivan Turgenev

Now is always a better time than later...for the most part.

Especially in matters of business or love. If you are acting from informed choice, then taking any action NOW is better than thinking, waiting, perfecting, hoping, figuring out...WHEN! What usually happens is that NOTHING happens! Procrastination is the killer of most dreams/hopes/plans. Most lives are lived, to quote Thoreau:

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation." - WALDEN (1854)

So ACT NOW. THINK but also ACT! Take a bold step:

"Then indecision brings its own delays,
And days are lost lamenting over lost days.
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;
What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it;
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

(John Anster in a "very free translation" of Goethe's FAUST from 1835)

Say "YES" - Liza Minelli

Yes
Say yes
Life keeps happenin' every day
Say yes

When opportunity comes your way
You can't start wonderin' what to say
You'll never win if you never play
Say yes

There's ?.........? and Marigold right outside
And warm white Cadillacs you can ride
Nothin's gained if there's nothin' tried
Say yes

Don't say why
Say why not
What lies beyond what is, is not
So what, say yes...

Yes I can, yes I will
Yes I'll tinker, said yes I'll touch
Yes of cause, yes how nice
Yes I'll happily, thank you very much
Yes, oh-oh, Yes...

Yes

There's lots of chaff, there's lots of wheat
Yes
You might get mugged as you walk the streets
But on the other hand you might reach
That handsome stranger you've longed to meet
Say yes...

Yes I'll look, yes I'll walk
Yes I'd love to do such and such
Yes I'll try, yes I'll dare
Ye-es I-I'll fly, ye-es I- I'll share

And yes I am, and yes I'll be
And yes I'll go...
Oh Yes...
Yes
