September 13th, 2007: Thoughts of the day (ART)

You know what you are actually in love with? Integrity. The impossible. The clean, consistent, reasonable, self-faithful, the all-of-one-style, like a work of art.

Hope in the future keeps us going; determination
is slowly getting us there.

"Switch off the mind and let the heart decide
who you were meant to be
Flick to remote and let the body glide
There is no enemy!
Etch out a future of your own design
Well tailored to your needs
Then fan the flame and keep the dream alive ...
