"We are born with two incurable diseases -- life, from which we die; and hope, which says maybe death isn’t the end."
- Andrew Greeley


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.
Henry Drummond

I kinda get this poem in a way.

But in another way, I don't get it at all!
