A word to the wise...


"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.
Art is knowing which ones to keep."
-Scott Adams




"People write their wishes on paper lanterns, light them, and launch them into the sky in the belief that they will come true." I'd like to think that's true; it's hard to imagine that something so beautiful would lack the ability to guide an honest, good-intentioned wish to the powers that be. The man explaining the purpose of the lanterns is Sheng-Fa Lin, a man from Taipei, Taiwan who took the above photograph. He calls it Flying Lantern. The picture was taken at the Lantern Festival in Pingxi, a town in northern Taiwan.
