APPEARANCES II

"Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance." - Jean de La Fontaine 

Appearances can be deceptive, and whilst it is true that many people misjudge others, or situations from afar: without a first hand opportunity to really know that person or thing. Yet such conclusions could be really flawed. Things - circumstances, people or situations - AREN'T ALWAYS how they appear at first sight. Most, are just illusions.

When architect Sir Christopher Wren designed the interior of Windsor Town Hall near London in 1689, he built a ceiling supported by pillars. After city fathers had inspected the finished building, they decided the ceiling would not stay up and ordered Wren to put in some more pillars. England's greatest architect didn't think the ceiling needed any more support, so he pulled a fast one. He

added four pillars that did not do anything -- they don't even reach the ceiling. The optical illusion fooled the municipal authorities, and today the four sham pillars amuse many a tourist.

Your situation even in this eleventh month, might seem bleak. From everyone's judgment of your life, relationship, financial statements or health there is no hope for anything better. Yes, to you there might even be the illusion, that's it's all over. But, like the greatest Architect of your life knows, your ceiling isn't about to come down anytime soon. He's built your destiny, your breakthrough is around the corner, don't give up now, just take the next turn. Believe - you will still laugh.
