Ashes and Rebuilding

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation

-- Henry David Thoreau

How true this is. I know a person in particular that, even though her soul and heart is in one place, she has chosen to remain in the status quo. We each look for a safe vessel to place our hopes and dreams in but we come to realize, within time, that what makes the difference between happiness and despair is what our intuition and inner eye tells us. 

Then again, I could be wrong. However, I doubt that I am.
