en avant : onward

{The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. 

He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot
learn, feel, change, grow or love.
Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom.
Only the person who risks is truly free.}

-Leo Buscaglia

{Be patient wild eyes.

Soon will come a storm to tame you.

Let her winds surround you. 

Match her fury and let fires reign.

There is no escape.

Nature means what she does.}

-unknown

{it’s dark because you are trying too hard. lightly child, lightly. 

learn to do everything lightly…

even though you’re feeling deeply… 

lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them…

on tiptoes and with no luggage… 

completely unencumbered.}

–aldous huxley, 1894-1963 (adapted)
