Madness to one is brilliance to another.

Degrees on a scale.

An emotional crisis can upset the balance we negotiate between sick and healthy.

Always in my being has been the knowing:

Don’t let them test you.
Don’t let them know you dream while awake.

The projections of others are weighty and enough to drive anyone mad who has recognized their own individuality.

Artists, writers, inventors, people involved in creative pursuits bringing ideas from the stars into the physical world.
— we have more latitude to explore the boundaries of what others call madness and to live beyond the limits of normal.

Don’t let them test you.
Don’t let them know you dream while awake.
