Among the American contemporaries I read with most enjoyment are several North Carolinians. I think the best poetry being written these days is being written by Southerners.
I really enjoy English and poetry and writing classes.
Perhaps no person can be a poet or even enjoy poetry without a certain unsoundness of mind.
I love Sufism as I love beautiful poetry but it is not the answer. Sufism is like a mirage in the desert. It says to you come and sit relax and enjoy yourself for a while.
Since creation of the E.U. a half century ago Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace in its history.
But since independence Gabon is one of the few countries in Central Africa that enjoys peace and stability.
You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself get more sleep and rest when you know that it was a one hundred percent effort that you gave - win or lose.
It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.
We don't do things we aren't good at by nature. I wouldn't play basketball because I'm only 5' 1". Find what you enjoy - whether it's racing, flying a helicopter, being a doctor, or stitching clothes together. Once you've done that, you have the passion you need.
I thoroughly enjoy getting away from the game and going out fishing because it's so relaxing so quiet and peaceful. I mean there's no noise other than nature - and it's so different from what I do in a tournament situation that it just eases my mind.
