You can't hold a man down
without staying down with him.
—Booker T. Washington
Reflection
For a variety of reasons, some of us think we belong in
the gutter; sense of inferiority, race, gender, shame,
etc., but we won't go directly, so we'll ride down on an
alcohol flume, hoping that no one will notice our
descent. It always helps if we can push someone down
ahead of us.
Affirmation
I hope to get back my wings today, wash 'em off and
fly.
