Ideal is conceptual and Real is circumstantial.

The Ideal drives you and the Real steers you.

Ideal is unchanging and stable whilst the Real is mutable and compelling!

We aspire the ideal and many may reach to embrace it but, with time, the Real corrupts it.

And therein lies the dilution and impaired immunity.........

Images cast of a mosaic of shattered glass, slave to the dancing lights.

Shadows of winding distances mocking the fleeting gaps.

The stuttering light struggling to be amidst the overpowering darkness.

And then, there is the You in Me.... strong and resolute!
