Whatever your work and whatever its worth,
No matter how strong or clever,
Some one will sneer if you pause to hear,
And scoff at your best endeavor.

And wherever you chance to hit it,
Though close be your aim to the bull's-eye fame,
There are those who will never admit it.

As for our present moment, delight.
And dedication to remain fully present to all the possibility.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

When a man you like switches from what
