"To wish was to hope and to hope was to expect"



-Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility-

"The Lord acts in mysterious ways, in ways we often can neither explain nor understand, tolerate nor bear."

( Cecilia Ahern, Thanks for the Memories 2009:38)

A veil hangs between the two opposites, a mere slip of a thing that is too transparent to warn us or comfort us. You hate now, but look through this veil and see the possibility of love; you’re sad, but look through to the other side and see happiness. Absolute composure shifting to a complete mess—it happens so quickly, all in the blink of an eye.
