Into the vastness that is the sky
I stare and wonder why

(I cannot know for sure)
if all the moments I’ve spent on earth
were really worth the time and space
I captured for myself.

(I cannot know for sure)


The loon laughs at my wonderings
and knows full well the answer lies
in the echo of a heartbeat.
So I sit and wait
for that one heartbeat.
And I believe I’ve heard it.


(I cannot know for sure)

Each soul is a thread in the mosiac of life, binding together this existence and affecting the weave of the world.  Each thread important to that of the threads it touches.  Always remember that.  Kind of a "it's a wonderful life" concept.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Okay, Kacy, now you've gone and done it!  What, you say?  Well, you've gone and given me a new favorite, that's what!     ....jo
