an arrhythmia in my mind...
I pack my trunk, embrace my friends . . .
Embark on the s e a . . . And at last wake up in Naples . . . t.h.e.r.e. beside me
is the.stern.fact.:
The. Sad. Self.

I think I missed the exit.
ONE may discover a new side
to his most intimate friend
when for the first time he hears him
speak in public.
He will be stranger to him
He will be stranger to him
as he is more familiar
to the audience.
The longest intimacy
could not foretell
how he would
behave then.
~ Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

“As a leader... I have always endeavored to listen to what each and every person in a discussion had to say before venturing my own opinion. Oftentimes, my own opinion will simply represent a con-sensus of what I heard in the discussion. I always remember the axiom: a leader is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.”
~ Nelson Mandela
