Amelia Earhart
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.

Magic carpet rides, rune magic, Ali Baba, and visions of the Holy Mother, astral travel and the future in the dregs of a glass of red wine… Buddha. Frodo’s journey into Mordor. The transubstantiation of the sacrament. Dorothy and Toto. The Easter Bunny. Space aliens. The Thing in the closet. The resurrection and the Life at that turn of a card…
I’ve believed them all at one time or another. Or pretended to. Or pretended not to…
And now? What do I believe right now?
‘I believe that being happy is the only important thing.’
Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or torturous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.
