According to Greek Mythology,

humans were originally created with

four arms, four legs and a head with two faces.

Fearing their power,

Zeus split them into two seperate beings,

“A mockery as they had all along intended”

“Not a mockery, my friend, but the way things are. Not the way they must be, but the way they have turned out. In a world that is also subject to chance.”

Icarus laughed as he fell

for though he had fallen, he still flew

and even if just for a moment, the sun knew him too

“Everything in life got its purpose. Find its reason in every season in its own way.” ~Bob Marley

"I will light candles this Christmas. Candles of joy, despite all the sadness. Candles of hope where despair keeps watch. Candles of courage where fear is ever present. Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days. Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens. Candles of love to inspire all of my living. Candles that will burn all the year long. "

There is light even when you can’t see it. It is after patience, that its fruit comes to be.

…who knows how many stories this house would have to tell… every time I see it during my horseback rides I think it's a shame that it's abandoned…

“Every man has his secret sorrows that the world knows not; and we often call a man cold when he is only sad.” ~H.Wadsworth Longfellow
