“when i let go of what i am, i become what i might be.” – lao tzu
famous.
the river is famous to the fish,
the loud voice is famous to silence,
which knew it would inherit the earth before anybody said so
the cat sleeping on the fence is famous to the birds watching him from the birdhouse
the tear is famous,briefly, to the cheek
the idea you carry close to you bosom is famous to your bosom
the boot is famous to the earth, more famous than the dress shoe, which is famous only to floors
the bent photograph is famous to the one who carries it and not at all famous to the one who is pictured
i want to be famous to shuffling men who smile while crossing the streets, sticky children in grocery lines, famous as the one who smiled back
i want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous, or a buttonhole
not because it did anything spectacular,
but because it never forgot what it could do
- naomi shihab nye
"to laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. this is to have succeeded." - ralph waldo emerson
