Awards
We envelope ourselves in the comfort of doubt and reject reason, but surprise ourselves at the inevitability of time and its wake. Time is our great betrayor. Time guarantees nothing but its constancy of passing.
Time will not tell nor heal, it just is. It is vacuous in its infinite vastness and only as relevant and historical as we allow the paths we chart toward self-definition and perspective.
