“To live is to flourish through the bends of an unforgiving life. The roads, as they wind and unwind, bring forth the wisdom that is to be understood, the risks of not living fully or a life half-lived. The merry hearts in woeful seasons are gifts to be bestowed in the fire of life, and wisdom is to be found in the ocean-deep eyes. Let laughter tear the darkness that came, let moonlight shine, tearing the night, for in the end it will remain as pearls.”
