"You're only given a little spark of madness, you mustn't lose it." - Robin Williams

"A little spark of madness..." is such a beautiful thing. In the movie Good Will Hunting, Robin Williams' character refers to our human quirks and idiosyncrasies as "the good stuff", and I truly believe that!

This past Christmas, I watched the Disney/ Pixar movie "Soul", and it has become one of my favorites from those production studios, right up there with Monsters. Inc. I've become a sucker for children's movies again, since all of them have such beautifully simple and magically delivered wisdom.

We can't control the storms, we must simply weather them as best we can. Waiting for the storm to pass, is like waiting for everything in life to be perfect before we stop to enjoy it. I'd rather dance in the imperfect, stormy moments.
