Souls and Rain-Drops by Sidney Lanier Light rain-drops fall and wrinkle the sea, Then vanish, and die utterly. One would not know that rain-drops fell If the round sea-wrinkles did not tell. So souls come down and wrinkle life And vanish in the flesh-sea strife. One might not know that souls had place Were't not …

Personalized Medicine
I am encouraged to hear that the FDA is playing a critical role in the advancement of what is now known as "personalized medicine," as is evidenced by Commissioner Hamburg's recent blog post and the FDA's report entitled "Paving the Way for Personalized Medicine: FDA’s Role in a New Era of Medical Product Development."

Your Prerogative
I am the Autumnal Sun by Henry David Thoreau Sometimes a mortal feels in himself Nature – not his Father but his Mother stirs within him, and he becomes immortal with her immortality. From time to time she claims kindredship with us, and some globule from her veins steals up into our own. I am …
Cool under Pressure
I've always admired people who keep their cool under pressure. This ability allows for graceful navigation of even the most intense circumstances.

A Valuable Lesson
"For the young, the practice of equitation is a valuable lesson, as it requires the exercise of all human virtue. If they are introduced to the practice of riding by understanding and patient teachers, then they too will develop these traits. The young rider grows to realize the horse is a partner rather than a …
Consistency
I've never met a person who did not, at some level, hope to better himself in the course of living. This fundamental desire defines and compels humankind; it is the driving force behind every step forward we've taken, and incidentally, most of the steps back. Human beings overflow with good intentions. If their intentions are …
