In a world of horses

I am away from my office at the moment, so my blogtime is limited. Please, indulge yourself on this excerpt from a recent e-mail Nicole got from an old flame:

"we are on two different paths, you and i. and i now know the paths never cross each other. i hope your path is smooth and paved, angels leading you in."

"you once equated me with a lemon. i know what you mean."

"you truly are a unicorn in a world of horses. a mythical creature that one counts himself lucky to have witnessed. but look away, even an instant, and it is gone."

p.s. I assume it's ethical to publish someone's personal email without telling them. I was raised by chimps.
