A few days ago, I posted "Sonnet 17" by Pablo Neruda. Fougs mentioned in her comment the fact that this amazing poet is a Nobel Prize winner in literature (1971). Upon receiving this award, Neruda said something beautiful, relevant, and profound. He said,
"All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence, in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song."
This very much spoke to me today.

LOVE THAT.
Clumsy & sorrowful, but atractive when compared to the only alternative isolation & silence. Wow. How did you find that?
Miriam was kind enough to have the paper with your picture in it delivered to me. Pretty nifty stuff.
And that is a pretty awesome quote.
