Frost's work often manages to evoke some deep response within my heart.
This is no exception. Thank you, Arslan; I don't recall having seen this
before.

We humans often do unreasonable things. This is both our doom and our
salvation. "All progress depends upon the unreasonable man" - and I
believe, more and more as time goes on, that restricting yourself to
only reasonable, logical behavior makes your life poor and gray, void of
all flavor and substance. Lately, I've taken up windsurfing - a most
unreasonable behavior, according to some near and dear to me - and will
be adding more (hopefully, much more) "unreasonable" behavior in the
near future. Maybe paintball this weekend. :)

Logic is necessary, but there are other stars to steer by. Ones that can
guide you to secret harbors you'd never find otherwise.
