ideals of happiness people cherish,
and in what singular places they look
for this well-spring of their life.

one would never guess that humans are beings of free will.

in the pursuit of a life dream.

the Sunday football game or religious service -
how many of those people are consciously following their dream,
training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?
And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day
out of habit and boredom?
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
