Was awakened in the night to a strain of music dying away, passing travellers singing.

When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau

You think you are prepared. You think you have done everything you're supposed to, study hard, work hard, keep yourself out of trouble, and then, whoosh! Something arrives out of the blue that you never saw coming. Something you never even imagined. Something that will knock your little world off its axis. Something that will either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos. ~James Michael
