Out of reach. Impossible to breach.
Fragile to clutch. Fleeting to touch.
Like stars and snowflakes and visions all aglow.
Time is endless in our youth. Our dreams are rustproof.
Our time to chase is aloof.
From the horizon of hope comes the challenge to dare.
Our time to dream has changed in midair.
Dreams that last hold secrets from the past—
 uniquely ours to share if we so care.

In this way, people are much like books: we can try judging them by their covers, but alas, there is always that possibility of ourselves being deluded in doing so.”
― Criss Jami

They're as creative about finding new approaches to making an idea a reality as they are about coming up with ideas in the first place.”
― Bonnie Wan, The Life Brief: A Playbook for No-Regrets Living
