"You will pass through storms and heavy rains and at times you may suffer defeat. The essence of the creative life, however, is not to give up in the face of defeat, but to follow the rainbow that exists in your heart. Creativeness means to push open the heavy, groaning doorway to life. This is not an easy struggle. Opening the door to your own life is, in the end, more difficult than opening the door to the mysteries of the universe. At the same time it makes life worth living for you. To be human is not merely to stand erect and manifest intelligence or knowledge. The fight to create a new life is a truly wonderful thing. In it you find for the first time a wisdom that causes your intelligence to shine. I myself think of this creative life as a human revolution. This human revolution is your mission now as it will be throughout your lives."

What a beautiful quote that so perfectly depicts where Patrick was in his life when he died. Thank You for honoring him with this picture and memory of the theatrical play he loved so much.
Thanks for the opportunity to keep his legacy and memory alive through this blog where I can talk to you; a most special person in his life. Warmly, Dianne
Thank you so much, Dianne. He has a powerful life - even in death.
Thank you for reminding me again.
