some picture life as a labyrinth a maze, concrete and exact. they claim we spend our time here looking for that one final answer, the way out. but the irony is that there is nothing at all that makes life concrete or exact. so as the walls of the labyrinth crumble in your mind see, that life is an ocean an infinite high tide where the salt stings at the whites of your eyes and throws your body like a rag doll into its shadowy depths. there is no knowing where it will take you, in the end, when the storm desists, some may end up on a beach with everything they've ever wanted and some with nothing at all. we are at the mercy of the tide, that in itself is the horrific beauty in life.

The Labyrinth
