If you have someone in your life that you are grateful for, someone to whom you want to write another heartfelt, slanted, misspelled thank you note, do it.

The apparent world, the one which is perceived, with its figures, its brightness, its colors, is a psychical product, a creation of the observer. The figures seen on the vault of heaven are neither the celestial bodies, nor the true clouds or the falling stars, but are only effigies which the observer's psyche has created and localized how and where it can. ~Vasco Ronchi
