Destiny's Dream

Sometimes we feel the essence of a path we wish to take so elliptic, a stone-strewn obstacle path to nowhere, confinement of potential, the things of dreams.

Day by day, life may seem long, drawn out, never-ending, and dreary. Yet, from a larger perspective, the essence of being is relative in terms of time…

Dream of You

Know that when love seems so illusive, it will happen, wait and see!
