Toss the petals...don't touch the thorns At times many of us are so tightly bound with the pain, confusion, chaos and uncertainties of life on earth that we don't have any clear idea on a direction to follow. It's a constant journey toward searching for and finding that metaphorical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. On this journey we collectively gather more to our fibers those things that strengthen, weaken, inspire and influence the paths we choose. We come into the world as innocent babes, empty slates. We are then flooded with information and circumstances which build us up into these humans who are then thrust into a space with other humans who have their own set of ideologies, values and imagination based on their formulations-the perspectives are infinite. *We must realize that life is dichotomous in and of itself The only thing certain is the infallible word of God.
