Lunch with some of the interns at L and M's, which is closing its doors Sunday (*tear* as last summer's intern, Lauryn, would say). The discussion was about Philip's blog post (which has sparked some good comments online):
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to
succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand
with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and
part with him when he goes wrong.

"May you live every day of your life."- Jonathan Swift
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon,
there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always
difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are
right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires
some of the same courage which a soldier needs. Peace has its
victories, but it takes brave men to win them.
— Emerson
Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach
them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try
to follow where they lead.
- Louisa May Alcott
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
