The road less traveled beckons
.
Slanting rays watch me dance
The woodpecker keeping time
.
The deeper the green, the taller the trees
And then
Only silence echoes the beat of my heart

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
