Often, what we may have aspired to as youth, gets time-shifted into what many of us would soon discover was a prerequisite to being able to live a comfortable, conventional, normal life.

Often times we may regret what could have been. Nevertheless what was ordained for us, plays out in the notes revealed in the swing of the Creator's baton.

TRANSCENDENCE Great suffering bleeds into maudlin thoughts Then anguish sets in concrete synapses, hardening, into rigid implacable bonds. Within the change no comfort remains Ideas wept in sorrow from yesterday's sadness explode onto new foundations and for some, greatness is achieved. Driven by crater impacts on the psyche. They dig their way out and in the climb, change the world and all mankind Less damaged souls, fulfill the roles of authors of the written scrolls that record history. From nearby we hear faint calls to those (living their stones of a supine life) to rise above their daily discord and sense the passion alone from those who ascended above their intrepid woes to create vibrant colors seldom seen.
