Loners, if you catch them, are well worth the trouble.

Separate wherever they go, awake or asleep, they shimmer with the iridescence of hidden things seldom seen.

Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. Express your love openly. Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.
“I almost wish we were butterflies, and lived but three summer days. Three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.” — Bright Star, 2009
