More From Isak Dinesen

Nobody has seen the trekking birds take their way towards such warmer spheres as do not exist, or rivers break their course through rocks and plains to run into an ocean which is not to be found. for god does not create a longing or a hope without having a fulfilling reality ready for them. but our longing is our pledge, and blessed are the homesick, for they shall come home.
Running Ocean Blessed
I pledge to set out to live a thousand lives between printed pages. i pledge to use books as doors to other minds, old and young, girl and boy, man and animal. i pledge to use books to open windows to a thousand different worlds and to the thousand different faces of my own world. i pledge to use books to make my universe spread much wider than the world i live in every day. i pledge to treat my books like friends, visiting them all from time to time and keeping them close.

My stepfather, john o'hara, was the goodest man there was. he was not a man of many words, but of carefully chosen ones. he was the one parent who didn't try to fix me. one night i sat on his lap in his chair by the wood stove, sobbing. he just held me quietly and then asked only, "what does it feel like?" it was the first time i was prompted to articulate it. i thought about it, then said, "i feel homesick." that still feels like the most accurate description - i felt homesick, but i was home.

...stand with me today and pledge to work for an america that doesn't ignore those in need and lifts up those who wish to succeed. pledge to hold your government accountable for ignoring the suffering of so many for far too long. and pledge to do your part to build the america that we have dreamed of - where the bright light of opportunity shines on every person - an america where the family you are born into, or the color of your skin, will never control your destiny.
Opportunity Destiny Color
He that plays the king shall be welcome- his majesty shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.

One man sees a riselka: his life forks there.  two men see a riselka: one of them shall die.  three men see a riselka: one is blessed, one forks, one shall die. one woman sees a riselka: her path comes clear to her.  two women see a riselka: one of them shall bear a child.  three women see a riselka: one is blessed, one is clear, one shall bear a child.
