No. We are the same person.We are not our bodies; we are our thoughts. As they form, they define who we are, and create the reality of our existence.

That is not the problem.This is:Change.Read it through again and you'll get it.

Judy Chicago

Search not a wound too deep lest thou make a new one.

Thomas Fuller

I thought: pity the poor in spirit who know neither the enchantment nor the beauty of language.
