i found this image on the internet. it says peace. i think its beautiful and i love it. i love it because it represents all that i am searching for: the blue is clam. the white is pure. the lines look effortless; almost accidentally graceful. and yet, i know that to make something like this it takes practice, time, determination, love of the thing that you are doing, and love for that thing you are trying to accomplish, and in all this work one must have peace. peace in trial. peace in work. and most importantly, peace in failure. peace in knowing that what you have accomplished, though it was not exactly what you wanted, means that you are closer to your goal. so maybe, just maybe, failure isn't exactly something negative, not something to be feared. not something to be ashamed of. maybe failure is just a stepping stone, required on the path though uncertain and sometimes unsightly.

I'm glad I read what this was rather than asking when I saw it on your laptop. Cool.
It looks like a dove, and if it is: I used to have a dove charm on a necklace. My aunt gave it to me because it represented peace and love. I lost it at the Hart swimming pool my first semester there :( But I still remember that.
If it is not a dove:
I still love it and it reminds me of a dove.
Love you Sam!
Love this! Thanks! Just what I needed today :)
