Why Are You Here?
*
I may not have remarkable victories, but I can amaze you with the defeats I survived.
~ Chekhov

To attain a higher consciousness, one must embrace both the light and the dark aspects of existence. This duality, good and evil, is essential for growth and understanding. Without an awareness of these polarities, we remain blind to the myriad possibilities life presents.
~ Joseph Keel
