Windows to the soul!

Always do right.
This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest.
Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Fountain of Sorrow, Fountain of Light

Life is not a Box of Chocolates, it's a Fountain of Sorrow.

"Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small.
Though it hasn't really been that long a time.
What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all
Although for a while, our path did seem to climb.

But when you see through loves illusions, there lies the danger.
And your perfect lover, just looks like a perfect fool.

So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger.
While the loneliness seems to spring from your life,
like a fountain from a pool.

Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams.
But that magic feeling never seems to last.

And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it seems
It would be easier sometimes to change the past."

Fountain Of Sorrow
Penned by Joan Baez, covered by Jackson Browne.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.

So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.
-- Mark Twain

Somewhere over the rainbow, 189 miles off the coast of Florida lies a special place. So close, yet so far away...!

“A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other.

The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness.

The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred.

"Which wolf will win, grandfather?" asks the young boy.

"Whichever one you feed!"

WHITE WOLF
Far across the plains, I heard the lonesome cry,
of the white wolf, as he sings his lullabye.
I looked out across the meadow, and saw him standing there.
He looked into my eyes, as if my soul was bare.

The beauty of his eyes, went straight to my heart.
Just the wolf and I, as if we were one part.
We understood each other, as things are meant to be.
Just the wolf and I, we were one family.

So every night I wonder, as I look up to the sky,
and hear the mournful sound, of the wolf's lonesome cry.
Is that the white wolf, I did one day see?
The white wolf who went inside my heart, and became my family!

Perspective:
the juxtaposition of illusion against reality that destroys the perception we call stability.
