We have perhaps a natural fear of ends. We would rather be always on the way than arrive. Given the means we hang on to them and often forget the ends.
Thank God I arrived the day before yesterday the first of the month at this port of San Diego truly a fine one and not without reason called famous.
I know I'm not a self-indulgent idiot I also know I'm not the second coming of Deepak Chopra. If I had believed either of those or both as some people do when they get famous that's when the mental illness arrives.
Let's say black the whole black religious experience here is very impressive to me because when I first arrived I realized that people carry their faith with so much pride.
An identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experience.
When he brought it to me four years ago Rodney King had just arrived I was involved in the clean-up of L.A. and I guess it was part of my experience.
I will feel equality has arrived when we can elect to office women who are as incompetent as some of the men who are already there.
The media says that equality for women has arrived but if you look around you still don't see girls playing guitars and having success with it.
Only in dreams in poetry in play do we sometimes arrive at what we were before we were this thing that who knows we are.
I'm not on the run from anything and I'm not at all clear about what I'm running towards. But as some great writer put it I want to be certain that when I arrive at death I'm totally exhausted.
On my best days such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double my dad was there to tell me I haven't arrived yet and bring me back to reality.
I am Jose Mourinho and I don't change. I arrive with all my qualities and my defects.
I had some vague memory of visiting Canberra as a lad when we came up with my father by car. But when I made the long train journey from Sydney to Canberra and arrived at the little stop I did wonder slightly whether this really was the national capital.
The alarm rings 4:45 again at 5 but I wake up 4:30 naturally. Shower shave orange juice perk my own coffee hear the news and the CBS car arrives 5:30.
I arrived in California with no job no car and no money but like millions of other girls a dream.
I'm the one who gets called up about a problem. I'm the one who gets called up about the street lighting and the abandoned car. I'm the one who gets blamed if the police don't arrive. I'm the one they blame if a city truck is broken down.
I was always interested in fashion and beauty. I was fifteen when I was scouted in a flea market. Two years later I arrived in New York. I was in awe because it was like another planet.
