“It's not that we spend five days looking forward to just two. It's that most people do what they enjoy most on those two days. Imagine living a life where everyday are your Saturdays and Sundays. Make everyday your weekend. Make everyday a play-day…” ― James A. Murphy, The Waves of Life Quotes and Daily Meditations

Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world.

“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I've never been running so far, so immense far, when will I fall into your arms? I want to break those certain rules, I want to dance the waltz with you And what about you, you drunken soul, is that your own will to go? On and on until I die, or are you going to give up now?

For me there is only the traveling on the paths that have a heart, on any path that may have a heart. There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge for me is to traverse its full length. And there I travel—looking, looking, breathlessly.
