Don’t forget: You’ve got something they don’t. There can only be one you. At all costs, become who you were meant to be. Thanks for the friendly reminder Dr. Korie A. Grayson, PhD

“At noontime in midsummer, when the sun is at its highest and everything is in a state of embroiled repose, flashes may be seen in the southern sky. Into the radiance of daylight come bursts of light even more radiant. Exactly half a year later, when the fjord is frozen over and the land buried in snow, the very same spirit taunts creation. At night cracks in the ice race from one end of the fjord to the other, resounding like gunshots or like the roaring of a mad demon.” – Johannes V. Jensen, ‘The Fall of the King’ (Kongens Fald) Born on this day 151 years ago in Denmark, Johannes Jensen was originally going to study medicine but instead turned to writing. He received the 1944 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the rare strength and fertility of his poetic imagination with which is combined an intellectual curiosity of wide scope and a bold, freshly creative style.” Learn more about Jensen: https://bit.ly/3iswqW8
