Dream Giver

I was watching a video mentioning how some ancient people viewed the milky way as a river where all the souls before us go. A river in the sky.

Lately there's been some thing rolling around in my head. Well, several things, but there is one boulder bigger than the rest. —And being in a similar state as in other moments, I know it is because of something that I want. A favorable outcome. That is natural right? To shoot for what you really want. And when other good things come it's really hard to see beyond the goal. Mostly I want to remind myself how grateful I am for this moment, which is a result of all the challenges, loses and victories before this. It is because of this balance of winning and losing today is made possible. Let's look forward. Fate over coincidence. We are really only winning.  


Rather than Coincidence.

Just thought I'd let you know how proud I am of you, my dear Michel. I will always be by your side. Another night closer.

I cannot adequately describe how hearing the names Michael Edwards and Theory mentioned one after the other made my heart feel. I am completely amazed at life. Completely awed, inspired, and lovestruck.
