There is nothing better than to Live
February 10, 2009
                                
                                
                                Step out into the lights -
 murky with dust and smoke and a million people
 not breathing
 for you -
 step out onto that
 worn out scratched wooden stage and say
 "I am."

You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. <br /> Henry Drummond
I kinda get this poem in a way.
But in another way, I don't get it at all!
