One ship sails East, and another sails West,
With the self-same winds that blow.
Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales,
Which tell the way they go.

Like the waves of the sea are the ways of fate,
As we voyage through life.
Tis the set of the soul which decides its goal,
And not the calm or strife.
(author: Eller Wheeler Wilcox)


Objects to be used in the dark .. can be of fantastic and unlikely shape and hue ..
for they aren't really there anymore when they open their portals onto infinity...
