This journey of life often seems like a road unlit. Feeling lost or confused, we eventually reach out for help and guidance from those who've walked the path before us. What follows is a list of those souls whose words and ideas helped me find my way or affirmed what I already felt to be true. I will continually add to this list with the hope you will find someone or something here that serves as a lamp to light your way.
Enjoy the quest!
