Chop, Chop!

The log, still un-split.

Wooden.

The axe.

Indifferent. 

One limb pretty much like another.

My mind, however, races.

I can’t reach the phone!

I can’t reach the phone!

I can’t reach the phone!

 

Almost a true story, but thankfully not.  Though it would add authenticity to Word Pirate ;)

This weekend we are asking you to play around with the following quote:

Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.
--Henry James

We want you to follow the same general structure of the above quote.  Feel free to change the subject--tell us what's important about coffee or houseplants or whatever you'd like.  Or else change up the modifier--instead of telling us what's important, tell us what's sexy or overrated or pernicious.  Your last three lines should closely echo James's, giving us the same answer three times.
For instance, a post might look like this:

Three things about Trifecta Writing Challenge are amazing.  The first is the community.  The second is the community.  And the third is the community.

(But we kind of expect your submissions to be far, far better than that one.)
Your word limit this weekend depends on your word choices, but because we want you to closely follow James's structure, all posts should be somewhere around the same number of words as the above quote.  For the sake of clarity (and brevity), we'll impose a thirty-three word upper limit.
