a serious little girl, & a serious lad two years older fell in love one soft summer night in a rowboat under a full moon it was the sweetest love either of them ever knew

Our life here is a sublime acid test. Our participation yields triumph & defeat fleeting joy, sorrow, rage, elation .. At the end, we know what we want We no longer have to ask "should I stay or should I go?" The choice is ours. Come back to what we know, or Fly free.

Everyone one we meet is here to help us learn something that our soul yearns to understand, consciously or unconsciously. Angels & Demons alike serve a divine purpose in lessons learned. Every mask leads us to the fulfillment of our heart's desire.
