GentlyWeeping

I write such that I will never forget
who I was, what I felt
I write such that I will always remember
the times that have gone, lest they fade into oblivion

" Morning is when i am awake and there is a dawn in me. Moral reform is the effort to throw of sleep. Why is it that men give so poor an account of their day if they have not been slumbering? They are not such poor calculators. If they had not been overcome with drowsiness, they would have perfomed something. The millions are awake enough for physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enouogh for effective intellectual exertion, only one in a hundred millions to a poetic or divine life. To be awake is to be alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake. How could i have looked him in the face? "

Walden, Henry David Thoreau
