Favorite Quote:
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

Treading water

Trying to keep afloat

Sitting on the river

But the current is lost

Keep me in your prayers

And my weariness in your hearts

But do not let grief conquer your sanity

Or sadness destroy your love

Because we shall stay afloat

Even though

We have lost the current
