Hello!

It’s been around 19 months since my last blog post, but I think I found some direction for this blog. It will be filled things that could be deep, inspirational, eye-opening and so on. At least, that’s is my hope.

These, I know, will be coming out for some time as I have several posts pretty much ready to go straight off the line.

To start it off, I watched a great movie, Invictus, about Nelson Mandela and a Rugby team that changed South Africa. The movie’s title came from a poem by William Ernest Henley.

———-

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- William Ernest Henley
