If you know me, you know I’m not that into poetry.  But Monday night, at the end of my Junior League diversity training (and I unexpectedly got LOTS from that seminar), one of my fellow provisionals recited this poem.  It really moved me, so I’m sharing it.

I am an idea
Conceived in the mind of the Universe
And interpreted in the minds
of the individuals I meet

Within myself I am constant
Yet I am as ever changing
as the people who interpret me

I can control my actions
But I can not control their thoughts
Therefore, I must do what I think right
And let others —
Think what they will

This was featured in Footprints in the Mind, published in 1979 by Javan Press.

I’ll be on to post as soon as I can conjure up some free time.  Until then, check this video out, and let me know your thoughts.

Today I’ve had lively conversations about the following media:

Take a look!  I’ll be back later when I have a minute to sit down and really delve into my thoughts and share.

Update :: October 9, 2010 :: I promise I’m coming back.  I just have so much to do!!

No time to write at the moment, but I wanted to share this article.  Hopefully, I’ll remember to come back and comment on it.  Happy hump day!

Atlanta City Council President Lisa M. Borders will host a live town hall meeting on MARTA’s financial future tomorrow night.  I have another engagement, but I’ll definitely try to get all the juice.
