“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” – e.e. cummings

“Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you’re just a reflection of him?” -Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes
Morning at Situ Gunung II by Juhe

And the fact that it practically always doesn’t, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there. ~Monica Baldwin
