At the very heart of Windows and Holidays lies a message of selflessness, and this collection conveys that its important for us to get along and strive for understanding, hope, and peace. Our hearts and our society need this desperately; we must be reminded from time to time that work is love and love gathers all.
Of all the things I believe in, I believe in tomorrow the most.
I believe in the things to come because today will soon be gone,
and yesterday is not coming back.
Although rich memories gladden the heart,
I believe tomorrow holds more.
Tomorrow being what it is, a whole lot to comprehend,
is far greater than can be put down in ink, even by the poet.
Tomorrow is like a recurring beginning of creation:
a chance to grow up every time;
to make amends; to repay debt;
to take on a challenge; and to overcome.
Though memory keeps experiences like forever,
I believe tomorrow holds so much more ...
