QUOTE : There can be a kind of tipping point when it comes to the souls' yearnings, a moment when it it no longer possible to keep waiting for fate or coincidence or design... It might be reunion, with others, with self. It might be some small cherished ritual, forgotten, denied. At such times, when the soul wearies of waiting, she throws an image of the longed-for experience out ahead of her: an avatar, a hologram, a dream. She engineers, if you will, an answer to her prayer. She projects her yearning onto a stage and then -- with a heart full of faith, expectation and courage -- rushes into it.
