On being Famous … ( 12 / 22 / 2010 )
“ The River is famous to the fish . The loud voice is famous to Silence ; a Silence which knew it would inherit the Earth … just like the tear is famous , even if briefly , to the cheek .
I want to be famous to shuffling men who smile while crossing streets , to sticky children in grocery lines ; famous as the one who smiled back . I want to be famous in the way a pulley is famous , or a buttonhole ; not because it did anything spectacular , but simply because it always re-membered what it could Do .” ~ inspired by Naomi S . Nye
