Nakia was not a girl's name to the 10 year old boy who thought it up one day just out of the blue. He liked the way the word rolled off of his tongue and decided should his dream ever come true, it would be his pen name. To this day, it has not; a dream still a dream never to be. He knew nothing of the Souix except that they were an indian tribe. He had no idea this was even an Indian word with an even more embarrassing meaning because He is not a She. He would prefer this is the end of the question and answer period with regard to the name. :-) He hopes this just drifts into the archives without fanfare.

From Dead Poets Society Tom Schulman "We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, 'O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here--that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.' That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"
