"Polaris. The Northern Star.
Viewed from another planet it’s just one among many. But on Earth, it’s uniquely important.
Fixed in place, an anchor. No matter where you are in the northern hemisphere, if you face Polaris, you face North. You know where you are. But there are other ways to get In the choices we make. In events that overwhelm us. Even within our own minds what can be an anchor then?
What beacon can we turn to… to guide us from darkness to light?
What if it’s other people? The lives that touch our own, in ways big and small?
Because unlike Polaris…
The light that they bring, will never fade."

The threads that connect us are not bound by space and time. What seems to the individual like a twist of fate from one perspective is simply one of those threads pulled tight… how things should have been all along. And even when those threads seem irreparably frayed, they never break. Not completely. But sometimes the most important connection… is here and now.

***********************************************************************

Le trame che ci collegano non sono tessute dallo spazio e dal tempo. Quello che all’individuo sembra un gioco del destino… da un’altra prospettiva e’ semplicemente uno di quei fili che si annoda piu’ stretto. Come le cose sarebbero dovute andare. E anche quando quelle trame sembrano irrimediabilmente consumate… non si rompono mai. Non del tutto. Ma a volte il legame piu’ importante… e’ qui e ora.

You watch, Ted.

Tonight is going to be legen—
it’s the night we stole a camel…
…which means it’ll be
full of drama— dary.

Dromedary!
