I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains, — but the best is lost.The answers quick & keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,
They are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled
Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.Speaker: Edna St. Vincent MillaySource: BabyPosted: 29 Aug 2008 at 8:10 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
“Do you think words have answers?” I asked.
“It depends on your questions,” said Byrd. “But”- she turned her head to look at me over Sophie- “you should know that there are some things for which there are no answers, no matter how beautiful the words may be.”
I stared at her.
“Sometimes poetry – words – give us a small, lovely look at ourselves,” said Byrd. “And sometimes that is enough.”
There was silence.
“Sometimes,” Byrd added in a soft voice.Speaker: Patricia MacLachlanSource: BabyPosted: 29 Aug 2008 at 8:09 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

Ward leaders are not the “best” people; they are merely the best people for the callings they have at the time they have them. And you are the best person for the calling you have — as long as you strive to make it so.
Here is the great secret that I have learned in my 58 years of life in the villages of Mormondom — there is no calling in which you cannot earn the love and honor of those whom you serve, or serve with.
There is no calling that will get you to heaven faster than another.
There are no members so extraordinary that they can’t be replaced with others who will do their old callings well enough — or better.

Punk Capitalism isn’t about big government or big markets but about a new breed of incredibly efficient networks. This is not digital communism, this isn’t central planning. it is in fact quite the opposite: a new kind of decentralized democracy made possible by changes in technology. Piracy isn’t just another business model, it’s one of the greatest business models we have.

New youth cultures can’t be as safe as those of days gone by, because if they stay within socially acceptable limits, marketers pounce, and before long they are just another branded spectacle.

We can transmit to the world a carefully managed perception of who we are, what we think is cool, what we wear and listen to. We need the network or no one will hear us, but we retain the power. Marketers can’t sell us meaning; we have to find it in their products, and if we do, and we’re passionate about them, we’ll happily tell everyone we can. But by the same token, if a brand or an idea makes one wrong move, it can cause the entire crowd to walk away.

What has changed is the amount of choices we have. We have so much music available to us, the sample size is too large – it’s impossible to observe change. Youth culture can no longer rebel against the status quo in music, because there isn’t one.

Youth cultures today are small and loose-knit, floating on the electronic ether, making authentic connections with fans worldwide. Fans do not court them exclusively; they maintain open relationships with a number of other niche cultures at the same time. The days when punks had a uniform and were easy to identify are gone; marketers can’t tell who we are just by looking at us anymore. Old demographics are becoming obsolete, and old generation gaps are beginning to disappear.
