"I beg of you, Lady Uncertainty, be kind to me."


We have come upon this buried treasure. Buried, deep in the sand.
The treasure that so easily slips through our greedy hands.
The treasure that has the potential to be greater than any gift we could ever receive.
The treasure is not one to be placed upon a golden pedestal.
Never touched, only admired.
No. The treasure is one to be used.
To be used to create, to explore, to love.
To live, to learn, to imagine, to soar.
Why would we not seize our treasure?
Not use it until every last drop of its riches have been sucked out?
The treasure is so often taken for granted, thrown away, or misused.
Who says you’ll ever get this treasure again?
The treasure is waiting. Waiting to see how you will choose to use it.
