landed, home. homeland?

galikat has landed
climbed trees swam oceans
kayaked the harbours
cooked delicious suppers
is happy and content
calypso'd and free
wondering wondering
what the next day will bring...

silly poetry
but really...today is excellent.
here are some quotes to illustrate...

"Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. Life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail. and get fairly rolled in the dirt oce or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Ho-ka hey! It is a good day to fight! It is a good day to die! Strong hearts, brave hearts to the front! Weak hearts and cowards to the rear!"
- Crazy Horse, Oglala Sioux chief

"Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?"
- John Keats

"If you hear that someone is speaking ill of you, instead of trying to defend yourself you should say: He obviously does not know me very well, since there are so many other faults he could have mentioned."
- Epictetus

"When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and the latest."
- Henry David Thoreau
