The night is long - the dreams are plenty

Let's just pray the dawn comes peacefully. I hate rude awakenings.

  3. When the steamship was first launched there were people who said, 'It won't float, it won't float!!' When it didn't sink like they predicted, they said, 'It won't sail, it won't sail....' The rest is history...

    As in all endeavours, there are always people with little faith in their fellow men, Scoffers and Doomsayers.

  5. That's how we get legends like 3 Kingdoms, flying lanterns, & throwing dumplings in rivers.

  6. Maybe we need icons to keep life bearable. Hollywood learned a long time ago that real life doesn't sell.

  7. You're right about icons. From early man's scribbles on cave walls to present day multimedia. They sail through the language barrier effortlessly.
