There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it

About Me

Well, I don't really know "about me" as I am constantly changing, but I do know that knowledge is power and while I continually learn the lessons, I Love Life and choose to live it from the inside out and Full Out!"If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present."
