March 11, 1977

"Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul.
If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction."
Kahlil Gibran

Age: 19

She danced upon the white sands of eternity,
Kicking the foaming waves of life back to the sea.
The burning rays of the summer sun
followed her along the shore,
while she sang to the wind.
Her hair blew carelessly in the breeze -
curling locks upon her forehead.
She was happy.
Carefree.
Why can't it be me?

Background: Long winter...
