I believe that everything happens for a reason.

and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
- Marilyn Monroe

Before we reach its height.

The heart is unpolluted.

Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?

but one must take it BECAUSE it is right.

We all have a social mask, right?

The River of Life has no judgments.
The River flows with no concept of good and bad - right and wrong.
The fields and dreams of men may be nourished by the River of Life,
or flooded and covered with silt, and the River just flows.
Men may catch fish and live on the River of Life,
or they may founder in a storm and drown, and the River just flows.
The River of Life is timeless.
It is not unchanging, but it is timeless,
and it changes in its own time.
The River of Life knows no obstacles.
The River can cut through solid rock - in its own time.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

and to change my prince often.
