possibilities

"Our wishes are presentiments of abilities we have, heralds of the things, we are able to achieve. Our phantasie shows us, what we can and want, outside of us and in a distant future; we feel a longing for something we inwardly already possess. In that way, a passionate grasp turns the truly possible into a dreamt reality.
With this determined direction inside of us, every step of our development is part of fulfilling that first wish."

an amateurish translation of my favourite goethe-quote.
had to think about it when seeing this shadow created by the morning light: whatever shadow may seem to lie over your life, the pattern underneath is always still there and goes on...
(sorry to sound like a fortune cookie here, but that just came to my mind...:))
