... a fleeting thought captured


All creation comes with pain.
Why I wonder?
Do you see pain as noble?
Do you think without pain can't come wisdom?
Is pain essential to survival ?
Essential to success?
Do you have the answer?
Have you been through pain?
Have you felt superior because of your pain?
Have you felt wise and looked down on me because of your newfound depth?
Depth that came through pain?
Or can you laugh at the world exultant at your victory?
Your defiance of pain!
Your joy at small things!
Your gratitude to be alive!
Your laughter, your smiles!
Your marvel at the gift of your breath!

It would be so cool if a couple of more people would send Paisley submissions... this is such a terrific idea. We could have an entire storehouse of emotions in a single page...
Wow!
