There is a moment when you see yourself for the first time as others see you.  In
a lifetime this can happen more than once, as we change, as we interact with
different people who have different views, as we find hidden parts of ourselves
we have never seen or shown to another before.  Some moments may be more
striking and intense than others, but each is a wonder in its own right.

The chameleon is one of God's most phenomenal creatures.  It has the beauty of
the rainbow, the subtle softness of the clouds floating in the sky, the amazing
ability to adapt to its surroundings while maintaining its true being.  Because of
its ability to adapt, the chameleon is given many chances to see itself in a
different light and each time it is a striking, wonderful thing...

I may not have gone where I
intended to go, but I think I have
ended up where I intended to be.

- Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Though no one can go back in time
and make a brand-new start,
anyone can start from now and
make a brand-new ending.

When I let go of what I
am, I become what I
might be.  -Lao Tzu
There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which
lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles
up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

-- Washington Irving
