Just like Alice in Wonderland...

WORDS

"THERE IS A VITALITY, A LIFE FORCE, AN ENERGY THAT IS TRANSLATED THROUGH YOU; AND BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE YOU IN ALL OF TIME, THIS EXPRESSION IS UNIQUE."
-martha graham
expression

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, LIFE AMAZES ME, THERE'S A BEGINNING AND AN END, AND SOME PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT UNTIL THEY'RE HOOKED UP TO AN OXYGEN TANK AND JUST STARTING TO REALIZE THAT IT ISN'T A WATER BED THAT THEY'RE SLEEPING IN BUT SIMPLY A YEARS WORTH OF URINE.

WE ARE THE SHADOWS OF THE LIGHT WE RESIDE IN.

THE TROOPS

LOVE
IS THE ULTIMATE FORM OF REASONING

THERE IS NO "BEFORE YOUR TIME,"
TIME IS AN ENDLESS SEGMENT
INTERSECTED BY THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.

ALL THINGS HAVE A BEGINNING, WHICH WE CAN REGARD AS THEIR MOTHER.
KNOWING THE MOTHER, WE CAN KNOW ITS CHILDREN.
KNOWING THE CHILDREN, YET STILL CLEAVING TO THE MOTHER
YOU CAN DIE WITHOUT PAIN.
- LAO TZU
