Today is a day for illusions. The mind does not know reality from fantasy. We must look beyond the appearances of what we see. One can only know that which one sees... or can one? The choice is ours to be sure. We can live our lives as we know they can be... we do not have to live our lives as they appear to be. The choice is ours... it has always been ours and will continue to be ours. So today... just for today... let us look beyond the illusion of what is outside of ourselves. Let us open our minds to our Greater Good and know that it is ours right now... right this very moment. We merely need to ask and it shall be ours. For we are the co-creators of our lives... we are the music makers who write our life's symphony. Only we can choose what is to be. There is no one outside of ourselves who can make that choice for us. So let us choose to be happy... let us choose to move beyond that which we know and let us choose to live our lives with a deep indwelling passion that shall bring us to the edge of our paradigm. We can have all that we desire... we can have all that we require if we wish it... let us wish it today and begin living our lives to the fullest. Let us come to the edge... to the edge of that which we know and dare to fall forward into our future and into our faith. For when we do, we shall have wings with which to fly and soar beyond the appearances into a most wondrous future. Take a chance and do that dance... that most wondrous dance of life. You just might find that you enjoy flying. Our thought for the day is: 'The illusion of life is merely that... an illusion. But the vision of the soul is the possibility of a reality.'

The seed script for this flame was the Moonlight Sonata version 2 by Bunny Clarke and Bart Doetsch. There were some tweaks by me. Post work was done in PSP.
