And there it is - another day ending. But did we stop to notice the color of its passing?

The yearning to rise, to soar....the tendency to sink and retreat from what's unknown.... Confidence and belief in ourselves mends the fissure between these two states of mind.

Complex ideas such as "The Big Bang Theory" are commonly discussed and generally understood, but only fundamentally grasped by specialists - not the common man. Similarly, the notion of economy and wealth are fleeting concepts brokered by the elite on Wall Street and Capitol Hill. In these difficult times, as Boardwalk and Park Place crumble, ensnaring many, the middle class keeps drawing cards from a hopelessly stacked deck. They cling to their lives on Illinois or St. James Place, hopeful that their street of dreams is real and not simply part of The Big Game.
