Consider a man riding a bicycle.
Whoever he is, we can say three things about him.
We know he got on the bicycle and started to move.
We know that at some point he will stop and get off.
Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it.
That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.

William Golding (author of Lord of the Flies)

Never mind the words...
but couldn't help but notice that Helen looks alot like this Canadian,
just love it,
And ama-am off to find a pix of you
in a world that let's us be our true singing selves,
not the ones we are living aren't good enough,
