description: "Above, against a blue sky's sun, dazzling clouds large as thunder, reveled two birds. They flew gracefully, seeming to fly for no reason apparent except to enjoy the flight of their wings. And, how marvelous did they look contrasted against this splendid background. Anyone, if they noticed these avian soars, would marvel, 'how rare; unusual that so few birds escapade their delight of wings in free form.' So too with people would this be true. For, all of us do have wings, yet, most never fly." And so begins Nothing Gold Can Stay. We often speak of freedom in terms of wealth, ambition, and acquisition of power-all held to be noble today. However, have we allowed our minds to become slaves to such acquisitions? Through our materialistic freedoms, have we really lost sight of the truest form of freedom: thought? How often do we take time from our day to day tasks and really think independently-to create original ideas and allow them to flourish? Nothing Gold Can Stay is more than just a philosophical enterprise, but rather a book about healing the post-modern soul.
