==Quote==
Each and all of us [[play]] the '''game''' of [[truth]] in every encounter with our [[Friends|fellows]]. The field is endless and the rules are [[simple]], no one wins [[alone]]; the prize awaits the [[moment]] when we all have won together. The [[sphere]] with which we play is [[glorious]], but ever [[changing]], and with each pass it advances or retreats in [[splendor]], depending on how it is thrown. Some think it should be thrown 'at' another, but of course, it is 'to' them we toss it in advancing levels of [[art]]ful exchange for it is in this sphere we see in vivid [[color]] the [[reflection]] of our [[evolving]] and [[collective]] [[soul]].
