The ancient Chinese Yin-Yang symbol represents the balance of yin
(peacefulness, serenity, acceptance, rest, rejuvenation, roots,
tradition) with yang (activity, strength, striving, movement, change,
wings, invention, progress). A meaningful and joyful life is to be found
in balance.
In the midst of movement and chaos,
keep stillness inside of you.
- Deepak Chopra

Let Your Spark Blaze
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.
- Soren Kierkegaard
I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dry rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
- Jack London
Chaos is the score upon which reality is written.
- Henry Miller
As far as we can discern,
the sole purpose of human existence
is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
- Carl Jung

the gifts you have been given,
the difference you have made
and the direction in which you are headed.
