We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. ~ Dead Poets Society

Tres
We seem to have a habit of putting up barriers that blind us from all the beauty in the world. Whether it be the screen of a camera, a pair of sunglasses or the warped lense or misperception from which many people seem to suffer, it feels like we are continually hindering our vision and missing out on what is really there. It isn't until we take these things away, until our eyes are watering with the wind and our noses are numb with the cold, that we can really see what is lying in front of our eyes. The beauty is always there, it is simply a matter of breaking down the barriers that so often impede it's visibility.
