Thoughts of the day: (dedicated to Sonya Johnson)

"Belief has the word ‘lie’ in it... and that pretty much sums up what the world has us believing about ourselves."
-- Doug Firebaugh

将来、何になるつもりですか。
What are you going to be?

"You´re a shinig star, no matter who you are
Shining bright to see what you can truly be
That you can truly be"

This is the dilemma I've been grappling with all my life, not so much the
materialistic side of it, but thinking I have to wait to get what I want.  The book
I just got done reading kinda ties into this too, basically saying you gotta have a dream to live in this world...
"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or
more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is
the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you love to do, in order to have what you want."
-- Margaret Young

As they say, "What the hell you waiting for, girl?"  Sonya woulda known better than to wait for nothing. 
She never waited around for nothin'.  She got a notion to want to do something, she jus' go on an' do it. 
Whether it was "possible" or not. 
Honestly I don't know anyone braver, an' probably never will.  She is my hero...wherever she is.

"Keep your head to the sky."
