While in solitude, I hear the music of life and it brings joy to my heart. The joyful memories of years past bring peace within my soul. I listen and hear the soothing waters of life run through me as my mind continues its journey down the river of discovery. The clouds that part bring forth a heaven that radiates love and happiness that my soul forever thrives on. Without inner happiness and peace, our life is in turmoil. Without love, our existence becomes a lonely one. Without knowledge the journey of life is confusing. A Balance therefore holds the secret of life. The balance of love, of life, of joy, and of knowledge. Together they create a full heart and comforting soul. Chris Martelli -  1999
