A coat of quotes and passing poetry
"The human condition when understood has facets understood as soul, the distinctly unique path to every that is human. Only weakness when you’re not stepping in grace to pace.It is like the bounce in your step and the readiness to smile. In other words, a heartbeat.And you can feel your heartbeat anywhere if your body is the universe, as is the divinity implied."
