More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Breathing in, i am aware that i am breathing in. breathing out, i am aware that i am breathing out. breathing in, i am grateful for this moment. breathing out, i smile. breathing in, i am aware of the preciousness of this day. breathing out, i vow to live deeply in this day.
Grateful Breathing I Smile
Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

I will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. it is not the constitution as i would like to have it, but as it is, that is to be defended. the constitution will not be preserved & defended until it is enforced & obeyed in every part of every one of the united states. it must be so respected, obeyed, enforced and defended, and let the grass grow where it may.
United States May Constitution
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
I would say except when i have been attacked the black community has seldom seen fit to even mention the gay aspect. and since when i have been attacked i have usually been defended by the black community, i would say that the black newspapers have played it very straight. if i was attacked they simply published that i was attacked, if i was defended they simply said i had been defended. but i don't think they have taken any effort at maligning me or maligning gays or making any effort to give to people anything that wasn't news.

It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.

To say that most recent elections are rigged and all these votes are stolen, that`s like saying we never landed on the moon, frankly. that`s how silly it is. no. i don`t think that`s good for our country. the problem is, it does create doubt in people`s minds. and i worry about 25% of americans who may say when an election is over, it was stolen.

There had been observed in this country certain streams of influence which are causing a marked deterioration in our literature, amusements, and social conduct...a nasty orientalism which had insidiously affected every channel of expression...the fact that these influences are all traceable to one racial source [judaism] is something to be reckoned with...our opposition is only in ideas, false ideas, which are sapping the moral stamina of the people.

Short-sighted and impatient efforts to wipe out poverty by severing the connection between effort and reward can only lead to the growth of a totalitarian state, and destroy the economic progress that this country has so dearly bought.
Country Effort Growth
The collapse of the administration's rationales for war, which became apparent months after our invasion, should never have come as such a surprise. in this case, the 'liberal media' didn't live up to its reputation. if it had, the country would have been better served.
