interesting conversations (grade: C-)
HAMLET: To be, or not to be–that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep–
No more–and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. ‘Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep–
To sleep–perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th’ oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’ unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprise of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. — Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia! — Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remembered.

I think of difficult days
Days I struggle to stay alive
To keep my head above water
To put one foot in front of the other
To stay hydrated in the middle of my water works
I think of days of joy
When everything sparkles
When I say hello to the bright-eyed me in the mirror
When I am so glad I’m alive
So connected to the whole
I think about the moods of nature
The sunny days
The gray days
Days of angry storms
or gentle raindrops
Days of extreme
Just like me
Extreme weather
caused by my energy
the energy around me
environmental and
relational factors
personal forecast
Todays weather calls for
Sunny outlook
with occasional clouds
a few showers through out the day
wine at sunset
moon full tonight
with a dream or two of your kisses
still warm on my lips
floating through
Waking to a great day tomorrow
until I see you again
