Heaven opens momentarily and closes  but the glimpses from the view linger and haunt one forever.

We endure those things we are powerless to change, no matter how wise the intentions.

Commitments, destined or chosen, determine choices and sometimes close choices completely.  Conscience will help determine needed adjustments in thinking.

It is the lighted candle that sparks the heavens.

Life is a balanced judgment.

In the silence of who we are,  we take flight.

The long face of gloom does not become the human at all in the face of so many small victories, but the constant  grin bespeaks an empty head too.

*****

Considering the condition of the world and considering who we confine to psychiatric wards,  the question should arise,  how one defines who is mad in a world gone mad?
