Quotes

• The delicacy of life is found
  In balance with the heights,
  The very living source of life,
  The very truth and breath of life
  Though visible in seconds here,
  And yet is timelessness.
• But test too many things
  To find the “whys” and “wherefores”
  This is not wise! It is not right!
  Accept. There is a reason.
