TOP-OF-MIND AWARENESS
The real writer is one who really writes. Talent is an invention like phlogiston
after the fact of fire.
Work is its own cure.
You have to like it better than being loved.
—Marge Piercy, For the young who want to in The Moon Is Always Female
* * * * At day’s first light, have in readiness, against disinclination to leave your bed, the thought that “I am rising for the work of man.”
Must I grumble at setting out to do what I was born for and for the sake of which I have been brought into the world?
Is this the purpose of my creation, to lie here under my blankets and keep myself warm? “Ah, but it is a great deal more pleasant!” Was it for pleasure, then, that you were born and not for work?
—Marcus Aurelius
Let me respectfully remind you, life and death are of supreme importance.
Time swiftly passes by
and opportunity is lost.
Each of us should strive to awaken--
Awaken!
This night your days will be diminished by one. Take heed. Do not squander your life.
—Zen Evening Gatha
Take an ax to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.
Do it now.
—Rumi, Quietness
