For all that has been,
Thank you.
For all that shall be,
Yes!
Dag Hammarskjöld
This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.

The bad news is you’re falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is, there’s no ground.
Chögyam Trungpa
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.
David Wagoner
You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.
Franz Kafka
The maintenance of life and the pursuit of happiness are not two separate issues.
Ayn Rand
