• We all flow from one fountain- Soul. All are expressions of one love.

• Building your "dream life" is filled with things that can feel like the opposite of a dream:
  Mistakes
  Delays
  Starting over
  Failure
  
  The building part is actually more of a rebuilding that is a continual process. The building is not linear in nature but far more interesting. You might start a creative dream, take the "next step", and find yourself completely bored, dissatisfied, or just not inspired.

• Wilderness appealed to those bored or disgusted with man and his works. It not only offered an escape from society but also was an ideal stage for the Romantic individual to exercise the cult that he frequently made of his own soul. The solitude and total freedom of the wilderness created a perfect setting for either melancholy or exultation.
