i carry your heart... in my heart — e.e. cummings

reach for something pure

Since I'm inundated with work and studies these days, I wanted to give you something inspirational as a kind of peace offering for being so absent around here. This desktop wallpaper* is the perfect motivator for me right now - reminding me to always aim for the good and pure in all I do. Please feel free to enjoy it too...
