Somebwody's Got a Case of the Muhndays!

A quote from Viktor Frankl to get your The Fountain juices churning:

Pointing through the window of the hut, she said, “This tree here is the only friend I have in my loneliness.”  Through that window she could see just one branch of a chestnut tree, and on the branch were two blossoms.  “I often talk to this tree,” she said to me.  I was startled and didn’t quite know how to take her words.  Was she delirious?  Did she have occasional hallucinations?  Anxiously I asked her if the tree replied.  “Yes.”  What did it say to her?  She answered, “It said to me, ‘I am here — I am here — I am life, eternal life.’”
