The illusion we all buy into.  This transition, this passage, this journey... Countless decisions, actions, reactions, dreams, realities, consequences and reward.  It's all part of the tapestry which we cannot see from a single stitch.  Opportunity cost and surface area.  An inception within reality.  That which is experienced cannot be confirmed or denied.  Our personal deity does not confirm or deny - only witnesses and denotes.  However these moments define our time.  All stumbling to our pre-determined destiny.  Connect the dots along the way.  A wise man once said, "it will not always be like this"  Take it as you will...
