“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince


There is a secret sacredness to tears

they seem to scream out words

we dont dare whisper

when the body feels a sort of passion

deep in our bones

that drives us mad

with every mixture of emotion

that comes in a wave that swallows us

having no escape

as we lie face up

at our sky

a hand outstretched

to touch her

ah how beautiful she is

and just like that

,without notice,

the wave dissipates

leaving us with burning eyes

and an unquenchable thirst 

the kind only our tears may relieve

this is the sacred place

that our tears bring us to

a secret moment

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
