Whether roaming around school, pogoing through a soft meadow, or eyeing images cast by a glassy lake, each of us in our own way strove to be a part. We kept the doors of our minds open, for we realized that nothing could be locked out — every person, every experience, every emotion was an essential part of the whole picture. Some parts were thrown at us, others were dreamed up in our fairy-tale minds and made to come alive by determination alone. However the bits and pieces of our reality came, we learned to take the hard with the easy, fit each into its place and thus expand the total picture that portrayed our colorful, unequaled world.

Somehow, in spite of being in the same place at the same time, we saw things differently. You saw the top while I saw the bottom, and although we often switched positions, we were rarely looking through the same window. If we chose to disregard the distortions present, it affected only ourselves. It was our window, and if at times it became opaque, it was to smooth over our own questions and indecisions. Our diverse feelings were caused by our impaired vision, and when our perspectives coincided we sow the total picture. 4 •Theme
