So how is it, that you happen to be caught in a whirlwind of time?... Now isn't it a shame, that you really can't see, the way you really are inside, the way you're really gonna be, 'cause you're crying inside, you're dying inside, you know you know it.

"I live within the confines of reality. I am here because to be anywhere else would be a lie. I live here because my life lies here, my dreams, my soul, my hunger. It is all real. I would not sacrifice anything about myself for something else. I like myself. I like my friends. I would not change the past because I NEED the experiences that I've learned from it. There are some things that in retrospect I think that I'd rather not have known - however knowing them has not diminished the quality of my life by one bit. I exist within 'reality' because here I know exactly where I stand. Here there is no need to fret about what is, or what was, or what will become. There is only looking forward into the future and figuring out how you can make the future better for someone else and for myself. Every day is a brand new opportunity within reality - it's my acceptance of the situations that I carry over with me day to day that make each hour worth living. The acceptance of the soul - the acceptance of the self - it makes my life worthwhile. I would not be anywhere else within reality - not for the world. I have myself - I have my God. And I have the willingness and strength to see myself through the future with a grin on my face and an eagerness to experience life that will be with me to the end of my days... Reality is what makes us strong." - Chris J.

It may seem difficult, as the mountain is more imposing to the climber from the plain. It may take years for the climber to leave the plain and get to the base of the mountain. This part of the trip he must travel alone. He is at the base of the mountain and has not yet climbed to the summit. At last he is on longer viewing his task from afar. He has come to confront it. He may never have the courage to go on, but it is our job to bring him further. If we do not rise to the challenge how can we know he has not challenged himself? He brought himself part of the way. Life does not always work fifty-fifty. We need the strength at times to give more, give all, give even more than all. Strength also means being able to ask for someone to give their all to you. Weakness is when you cannot let others give. Inevitably, we must admit that the climber may not go any further, but not without first trying to help with the initial step. All paths are not paved; be proud of that fact -- it shows you have climbed" - Robert A.
