Hairy, hopefully lint-free. An innie. A vestigial remnant of the days when my mother and I were closer than we are now.
"Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." ~ Samuel Beckett
“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one” ~ Bruce Lee
“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:6-8 NKJV
Favorite poets, though hardly an exhaustive list : e.e. cummings, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Maya Angelou, Charles Bukowski, John Milton
