there are so many things that make us bolder, make us older, make us wiser. But if we could just find the time to unwind and unbind and discover something new in ourselves, something hidden in the backs of our minds, we might just realize that underneath it all, where it really matters, we are in flux. Every change to our range of emotions, every dip in the daily routine, every question, every hope, every challenge is merely momentary. If we are bold then there is a place in us for cowardice and for hesitation, if we are old then at times we must act younger than we are and if we are wiser than we were before, then there was a time when we made mistakes, answered for them, and struggled to connect all of the dots. Every minute marks the beginning of who we really are. We run a race with an identity swinging just beyond our reach. We run through sand and mud, through fires and forests and then, just when we can run no more, when we have tripped too many times and fallen into too many ruts, we almost find ourselves. In the meantime we have travelled so far, changed so much, become so much stronger, so much faster, so much more. We are scarred and tired and radiant and broken. And yet, through it all, we have looked only at ourselves,swaying before our eyes, promising nothing and everything and never changing: or so it seems. We spend our whole lives chasing a mirror, asking answers of ourselves.
