Sometimes we get a second chance and sometimes it seems we had no
chance at all. What we can count on getting is a cycle of the
heartwarming followed by heartbreak, the mundane punctuated with
despair and assuaged by moments of joy. But greater than our
earthly concerns, the cycle of life continues. Birth follows
death as spring follows winter. And within this cycle, every once
in a while just to keep it interesting, the wondrous happens.
Whether you view the seemingly impossible as merely a
coincidence, as a mistaken observation, or as proof that miracles
do happen and that love never dies the choice is up to you. Which
one sounds like more fun?

Tonight's Quote:

“It is not known precisely where angels dwell whether in the air,
the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we
should be informed of their abode.”

— Voltaire
