[Mb-hair] LIFE'S TOO SHORT

[Katie Kasben]

Dear Michael,

I wish my magic wand was working, to make you feel better!

I thought of you this past weekend when I was at the museum of the American 
Indian, in D.C.~ it was packed and the exhibits were beautiful and 
inspiring!!
There is so much good in the world too, and you are so well loved.
Have someone make you a bowl of chicken soup with crushed ritz crackers, and 
gingerale...and watch the movie AMELIE.  Everything will be better.

Take good care!
Peace,
Katie


  "O joy! that in our embers
   Is something that doth live,
That Nature yet remebers
What was so fugitive!
The thought of our past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction: not indeed
For that which is most worthy to be blest;
Delight and liberty, the simple creed
Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest,
With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:-
  Not for these I raise
  The song of thanks and praise;
But for those obstinate questionings
Of sense and outward things,
Fallings from us, vanishings;
Blank misgivings of a Creature
Moving about in worlds not realized,
High instincts before which our mortal Nature
Did tremble like a guilty Thing surprised:
  But for those first affections,
  Those shadowy recollections,
Which, be they what they may,
Are yet the fountain light of all our ay,
Are yet a master light of all our seeing;
  Uphold us cherish, and have power to make
Our noisy years seem moments in the being
Of the eternal Silence: truths that wake,
  To perish never;
Which neither listlessness, nor mad endeavor,
  Nor Man nor Boy,
Nor all that is at enmity with joy,
Can utterly abolish or destroy!
  Hence in a season of calm weather
  Though inland far we be,
Our souls have sight of that immortal sea
  Which brought us hither,
  Can in a moment travel thither,
And see the Children sport upon the shore,
And hear themighty waters rolling evermore."

- Ode, William Wordsworth
