Andrea Gibson's brilliant force has departed their body. They were a beacon of courage and compassion communicated through poetry. I mourn our loss. May their brilliance and love manifest forever.

Comes And Goes (In Waves)
This one's for the lonely, the one's that seek and findOnly to be let down, time after timeThis one's for the torn down, the experts at the fallCome on friends, get up now, you're not alone at all
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this part was for her and this part was for her
This part was for her, does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves, I
This one's for the faithless, the ones that are surprisedThey're only where they are now, regardless of their fightThis one's for believing, if only for its sakeCome on friends, get up now, love is to be made
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this part was for her and this part was for herThis part was for her, does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves, IAm only led to wonder whyIt comes and goes in waves, IAm only led to wonder whyWhy I try
This is for the ones who standFor the ones who try againFor the ones who need a handFor the ones who think they can
It comes and goes in waves, IAm only led to wonder whyIt comes and goes in waves, IAm only led to wonder whyWhy I fly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this part was for her and this part was for her
This part was for her, does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves, I
This one's for the faithless, the ones that are surprisedThey're only where they are now, regardless of their fightThis one's for believing, if only for its sakeCome on friends, get up now, love is to be made
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And this part was for her and this part was for herThis part was for her, does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves, IAm only led to wonder whyIt comes and goes in waves, IAm only led to wonder whyWhy I try
This is for the ones who standFor the ones who try againFor the ones who need a handFor the ones who think they can

Making a Mark
“I always had hopes of being a big star. But as you get older, you aim a little lower. Everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. Then you think, you’ve made a mark on the world if you just get through it, and a few people remember your name. Then you’ve left a mark. You don’t have to bend the whole world. I think it’s better to just enjoy it.”

Practice, Practice, Practice
"The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."
- Kurt Vonnegut
