As night seems to suck away the light of the sun. Have you noticed that
human beings tend to think of many things as fluids? Even the feeling of
life itself seems fluid to us. The flow of time, the flow of feelings, the
flow of movement. It must be all that water in us, I suppose.
Joy is a perpetual fountain. It arises from the center of our being.

We cling to phantoms. We try to own that which cannot be possessed. We try
to make static what is dynamic and yet still expect it to have the qualities
of dynamism.
