DO YOU HAVE THE FEELING – YOU WILL TAKE MY BREATHE AWAY

UP WHERE WE
ALL BELONG!

FROM YOUR HIGH
SCHOOL DAYS!

CAN’T TAKE A TRIP –
TAKE A TRIP WITH US!

Can you coax your mind from its wandering
and keep to the original oneness?
Can you let your body become supple as a newborn child’s?
Can you cleanse your inner vision 
until you see nothing but the light?
Can you love people and lead them 
without imposing your will?
Can you deal with the most vital matters
by letting events take their course?
Can you step back from your own mind
and thus understand all things?
 
Giving birth and nourishing,
having without possessing,
acting with no expectations,
leading and not trying to control:
this is the supreme virtue.
“Courage is grace under pressure.”
 
Ernest Hemingway
“Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”
 
– Winston Churchill
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
 
Albert Einstein
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
 
Dr. Seuss
“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”
 
Charles Darwin
“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
 
Nathaniel Hawthorne
