For Jason: Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily Life is but a dream in the theatre of human ambition. The mask we wear onstage is but a painted face to catch the spotlight's gleam. We speak our lines and play the scripted part, concealing truth to serve the grand design until the curtain falls and we are lost without our heart. The light refracts from a crystal in the sun. Charoscuro of clouds remind us of the world. If we can be authentically who we are, that reflection shines on everyone.
