Massive stress means I'm getting this one in just before the end of the day...

The Great Yes By Constantine P. Cavafy

English version by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard

For some people the day comes
when they have to declare the great Yes
or the great No. It’s clear at once who has the Yes
ready within him; and saying it,

he goes from honor to honor, strong in his conviction.
He who refuses does not repent. Asked again,
he’d still say no. Yet that no--the right no--
drags him down all his life.

I saw a t-shirt today (Easter sunday): Heat rises. Jesus didn't.

I really wish I'd complimented the guy wearing it! Not that I'm anti-Christian or anything, but I did find it amusing and was impressed that the guy had the courage to wear it in a public park on Easter.
