hopes and dreams

Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 22 March 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

We went to go visit the famous Wen Wu Temple, which actually turned out to be really disappointing for me. I think one of the charms of temples is to see the old art and architecture. This one, however, was so modern, and the paint was way too bright. Therefore, I'm not going to put up any photos of it. Next to the Temple, however, were lots of stairs going down to the Lake (since the Temple is on a hill). All along the stairs on both sides were hung these charms that represented the hopes and dreams of those who had come before me.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption

We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.
