All the world&#039;s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.<br /> -Shakespeare

Animals speak.

We do not listen.

We hear,

but do not

comprehend.



Birds do not fly,

they soar.

We cannot see

that which flies.



People do not sleep,

they lie awake,

and dream,

only to forget again.



There is no universe,

only places

in which

to make things happen.
