The Task of Genius

By Henry Miller

The task of genius
is to keep the miracle alive,
to live always in the miracle,
to make the miracle more and more miraculous,
to swear allegiance to nothing,
but live only miraculously,
think only miraculously,
die miraculously.

We Will Meet Again

From Inspiration Peak


We will meet again my friend,
A hundred years from today
Far away from where we lived
And where we used to play.

We will know each others' eyes
And wonder where we met
Your laugh will sound familiar
Your heart, I won't forget.

We will meet, I'm sure of this,
But let's not wait till then...
Let's take a walk beneath the stars
And share this world again.

The Far Vision and the Near Look

An Indian guide, who displayed uncanny skills in navigating the rugged regions of the Southwest, was asked how he did it. "What’s your secret of being an expert tracker and trail blazer?" a visitor asked him.

The guide answered, "There’s no secret. One must only possess the far vision and the near look. The first step is to determine where you want to go; then you must be sure that each step you take is a step in that direction."
