PARAGRAPH 1 : Dear Mr President1
Before you pass this off as useless and senseless, I pray that you may just pass your eyes over my messy scrawl and see the message hidden therein. Perhaps I could teach you something new.2
~Dear Mr President3
PARAGRAPH 2 : It drowned out everything – the din of the coloured blurs flashing by; the voices and footsteps of the faceless, the nameless; the ever-present humming originating in no particular place, residing where there were thousands – all went unheard as the heavens sent forth their mighty load.4
~Fighting the Giants5
PARAGRAPH 3 : The landscape was cold and barren, ravaged by an unceasing, stinging wind that moaned as it swept over the snow covered ground. In the distance, a lone figure could be made out, struggling against the harsh elements. The wind was blowing against it as though trying to push it away, but to no avail.6
~Solo Voyage7
PARAGRAPH 4 : It takes strong feet to step over jagged stones,8
It takes tough skin to survive the merciless sun,9
It takes keen eyes to seek the road ahead,10
It takes a soft heart to recognize beauty.11
There is a path – cruel, cold, treacherous, warm, verdant, fascinating and mysterious. 12
This path is life.13
~Life is a Path14
