New Category

Hey Guys, this is a category that is a little bit easier for me to update... Its going to be the Quote Of The Week, otherwise known as QOTW. To kick it off, we will start with my all time favorite quoter! OSCAR WILDE!!!

We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities.
Oscar Wilde

And because I couldn't help it a few more:

I can resist anything but temptation.
Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892, Act I

But what is the difference between literature and journalism?...Journalism is unreadable and literature is not read. That is all.
Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist, 1891

Perspective Poetry

I thought I stood alone, reaching out to nothing.
I stretched my limbs, and still touched nothing.
My world was bleak, and I thought there was nothing.
My head hung low, and I hoped I’d feel nothing.

Somehow time passed, and nothing seemed to change.
The sun climbed and rain fell, but still nothing seemed to matter.
I remained entrenched to the spot, and nothing could get me to move.
I ate, slept, and breathed, and nothing ended the monotony.

Then, one day a limb grew, and something bloomed.
The roots holding me began to stretch and groan.
I stood taller, prouder, and more significantly, I stood beautifully.
Nothing had really changed except one thing.

I had lifted my head and commenced to hope.
Knowing that today is vanished and tomorrow may not arrive.
I learned all in one moment,
I wasn’t alone and never had been.

I discovered perspective is everything.
