today's journey (so far)

started with my friend debra's blog ...

.... where I read about Joan Tollifson, who I then googled and enjoyed immensely ...

... and on her recommended reading list was Wayne Liquorman, whose Ram Tzu book is a favorite on my bookshelf that I haven't read in ages ...

...which somehow reminded me of a poem I have kept in the front of my daytimer for about ten years now ...

Be like a bird
Who halting in her flight
On a limb too slight
Feels it give way beneath her
Yet sings
Sings
Knowing she has wings.

So I googled it, and it turns out to be the words to a song, adapted from a poem by Victor Hugo. Who knew? And it's not even 10 am yet ...
