Pure Politics

"I believe in peace. I believe in peace, bitch."

Once upon a time, Tori Amos was not all warmth and whimsy.

Now she's keeping bees.

Keeping them from what?

Bees are industrious.

They excel at geometry and spelling.

They will not be kept from anything.

Those who keep trying everyday, who continue to fall and continue to get up, they are the ones worthy of admiration.

Those who find solace and joy in learning or discovering one new thing each day.

Those who try to ease the burdens of others less fortunate than they are.

Those who work through adversity by confronting it instead of taking the easy way out.

And who live their own good humor as fully as possible.

These are the kings, queens, and emperors of the everyday. More than a few are very close to me.

It is for them that I reserve the greatest respect and gratitude.

Though I know I don't say it enough.

Tomorrow you will be reminded again that with your quiet good sense, gentle warmth and respect for every living thing, humility, honesty, generosity, and humor you are worthy and you are worthwhile. And anyway you are loved more than you will ever know.
