Life is an enigmatic kaleidoscope of transformations…where pain folds into pleasure and joy cascades into pools of sorrow…where everything substantial vanishes from the grip of our palms…where all that endures points to a truth that can only be seen without eyes.

As the patterns shift, life’s colors blur into mixtures that can send tears leaking through our fingers, while others blend into hues that can direct our sentiments heavenward.  Likewise, its shapes join and bloom into designs that sometimes captivate us, sometimes disturb us.

We follow this ever-present movement.  And we meet strange and amazing scenes with every sway and twist.  While some assail us, others humble and encourage us.  But with each combination and recombination, we edge a little closer to the pulse, to the essence upon which all else is built…and destroyed.

This is an illustrious journey.
