The human experience is like a river. It rambles on, ever-flowing, from one generation to the next. The river--and the existence of human life--is interdependent on each other. Without the river, we would shrivel up and die. As our experiences in the human river of life float off, they connect with others causing a ripple effect, a thread of experience that weaves with those of others to create a tapestry of what it means to be human. Within this portrait of humanity there are bright, blazing suns of extraordinary, life-changing experiences intermingled with an even greater number of quiet brush strokes, moments the eye may inadvertently pass over. The lesson of life is that even a subtle brush stroke carries a passion like a burning sun. As is often the case in life, a twist in the road can raise just as many questions as it answers.
