But in the end, these dismissive souls will never know what it is to be moved by tears by the beauty of rose or brought to joy by sunlight filtering through the leaves of spring or autumn. The creative walk in glades invisible to those outside their realms.” PeopleIfsKnowsWorldFeelsMayLittlesIdeasSoulEndsJoySpiritWalksMistakeWonderCreativityCreativeTearsSorrowSpringLowsWeaknessInnovationMovedRoseResponseIllnessInvisibleHandleMental IllnessRealmsAutumnSunlightCreative PeopleEccentric Author:Duncan Long
