There are moments that cry out to be fulfilled.
Like, telling someone you love them.
Or giving your money away, all of it.

You're not in chains, are you?

There is nothing more pathetic than caution
when headlong might save a life,
even, possibly, your own.

A dog comes to you and lives with you in your own house, but you do not therefore own her, as you do not own the rain, or the trees, or the laws which pertain to them
