As happens sometimes a moment settled...and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stoppedfor much, much more than a moment.And then the moment was gone.
The journey lasted eight months.Sometimes I travelled alone,Sometimes, there were others- who took the wheeland took my heart.But when the destination was reached it wasnt me who arrivedit wasnt me at all.

T.H. White said; perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncriticallyto
those who hardly think about us in return.
Katherine Anne Porter once said; There seems to be a kind of order in the universein the movement of the stars and the turning of the Earth and the changing of the seasons. But human life is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own right and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own.
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said; Many people die with their music still in them. Too often it is because they are always getting ready to liveBefore they know ittime runs out.

I thought I knew you. But I guess its easier to see what
we want, than to look for the truth. You think you know me but you dont; and that means you dont know what I can do. You see me as someone whos popular and has all the answers; thats not true. I may not always know what Im doingbut Ill try make things better.And when I make a mistakebecause face it, we all doI promise Ill ask for your help. I cant do this aloneBut if youll take a chance on me, we can do great things together.I promise, if you believe in me, Ill find the courage to reach
for your every dream.John F. Kennedy said the courage of life is a magnificent mixture triumph and tragedy.A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequencesin spite of obstacles and dangersand pressuresand that is the basis of all morality.
Kahlil Gibran once wrote: Youre reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling
alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burn to
its own destruction.
Charles Bukowski once wrote; There will always be something to ruin our lives. It all depends on what or which finds us first. Youre always ripe and ready to be taken.
Joseph Conrad once wrote: Who knows what true happiness is, not the conventional word,but the naked terror.To the lonely themselves, that wears a mask,the most miserable outcast,hugs some memory,or some illusion.
Stephen King once wrote: Time takes it all, whether you want it to or not.Time takes it all, time bears it away, and in the end there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness,and sometime we lose them there again.
