Ride Hard
Look around you. This life is nothing more than a wild horse to be rode hard.
Sit quietly in the saddle, and never speak unless it's to say what you mean.
Trials and tribbulations will abound, and people will leave you breathless in a daze.
When the going gets tough, put on a soft smile, and spur the hell out of it.
Face each day with determination in your eyes, don't back down, and show not an ounce of quit. Many is the time that people get drug down amongst the sarrow.
Yet many is the time one will stand and fight. My brothers and sisters we face a time in history that will be known in infamy for the rest of time. The time is now for strength, compassion, for Unity. Love everyone for their faults, for even if you ruin a glass vase with a cut from a diamond magnify the cut and see the perfect symetry created within the cut. Take pleasure in diversity. For what kind of a place would this be if everyone were the same? Pay no attention to ignorance unless it to correct such ignorance through compassion, and understanding. Take everything in with a watchfull loving eye as if today would be your last. And it may well be. Let go of hate, and embrace the challenge of love with a thirst to match all thirsts. Ride hard, live hard, love hard. These are my words. This is how I stand. Take it or leave it, I am me, and you are you. Love me or hate me, I don't care. I accept you for who you are. All of you. Lets face the rest of our lives one day at a time with love and respect.
