The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past. Sai Baba Each child is an adventure into a better life - an opportunity to change the old pattern and make it new. Hubert H. Humphrey We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning.
