Our world hangs like a magnificent jewel in the vastness of space. every one of us is a part of that jewel. a facet of that jewel. and in the perspective of infinity, our differences are infinitesimal.

A new kind of award has been added -- the deathbed award. it is not an award of any kind. either the recipient has not acted at all, or was not nominated, or did not win the award the last few times around. it is intended to relieve the guilty conscience of the academy members and save face in front of the public. the academy has the horrible taste to have a star, choking with emotion, present this deathbed award so that there can be no doubt in anybody's mind why the award is so hurriedly given. lucky is the actor who is too sick to watch the proceedings on television.

How a diamond comes into a knot of flame how a sound comes into a word, coloured by who pays what for speaking. some words are open. love is a word another kind of open — as a diamond comes into a knot of flame i am black because i come from the earth's inside. take my word for jewel in your open light.

Life without balance can cost you your relationships. life without balance can cost you your health. life without balance can cost you your spirituality. life without balance can cost you your wealth and your happiness. so find things to motivate you from all areas of life. your success depends on it.

My position is that the rate should align with the level of economic development. because it is always about a balance, a balance of interests, and it should reflect this balance. a balance between those who sell something across the border and those who benefit from a low rate, as well as a balance between the interests of those who buy, who need the rate to be higher. a balance between national producers, for example, agricultural producers who are interested in it.
