I will put Chaos into fourteen lines

And keep him there; and let him thence escape
If he be lucky; let him twist, and ape
Flood, fire, and demon --- his adroit designs
Will strain to nothing in the strict confines
Of this sweet order, where, in pious rape,
I hold his essence and amorphous shape,
Till he with Order mingles and combines.
Past are the hours, the years of our duress,
His arrogance, our awful servitude:
I have him. He is nothing more nor less
Than something simple not yet understood;
I shall not even force him to confess;
Or answer. I will only make him good.

-- Edna St. Vincent Millay

Good grace has many a face.

Our inner core is a part of God,

taken for granted and infinitely patient;
Our mightiest master is also our humblest slave.

Ugliness has survived the test of millions of years of evolution not for it's beauty.

I reckon it best to be in between,

then you have more freedom.
You can be ugly amongst the beautiful,
and beautiful amongst the ugly.
If you like neither,
you can be the glorious fuzzy.

Life thrives on adversity,

if it is not there, it will create it.
