Howdy Howdy all!
Well I haven't been feeling like myself lately. I dont know why, maybe school withdrawls or something. I wanted to go camping at the end of this month in hopes of recharging my battery. On the plus side I spoke with one of my professors this morning and he actually told me that I earned a 95 on my research paper on Dianetics. SWEET! I knew I would earn an A in his class as I did all of my 3 classes this semester.
Anyway I wanted to go camping over the memorial day weekend but alas everything is booked. Oh well, No matter, I plan to do something outside no matter the weather in order to clear my head. Any Suggestions? I better start kicking around some ideas huh? I just feel kinda blah ya know???? Anyway I have decided to medicate myself with a lot of recreational reading, the next book on the list is one a fellow mindsayer let me borrow earlier this year, "Comanches" by T.R. Fehrenbach. Should be a good and informative read. Thanks bro! Don't worry, I won't sully the pages with ink.
Poetry time....here goes.....
Speak Gently
Speak gently! -- It is better far
To rule by love, than fear --
Speak gently -- let not harsh words mar
The good we might do here!
Speak gently! -- Love doth whisper low
The vows that true hearts bind;
And gently Friendship's accents flow;
Affection's voice is kind.
Speak gently to the little child!
Its love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accents soft and mild: --
It may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear --
Pass through this life as best they may,
'T is full of anxious care!
Speak gently to the aged one,
Grieve not the care-worn heart;
The sands of life are nearly run,
Let such in peace depart!
Speak gently, kindly, to the poor;
Let no harsh tone be heard;
They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word!
Speak gently to the erring -- know,
They may have toiled in vain;
Perchance unkindness made them so;
Oh, win them back again!
Speak gently! -- He who gave his life
To bend man's stubborn will,
When elements were in fierce strife,
Said to them, "Peace, be still."
Speak gently! -- 't is a little thing
Dropped in the heart's deep well;
The good, the joy, which it may bring,
Eternity shall tell. --David Bates
