If thou but settest foot on this path, thou shalt see it everywhere."
- Hermes Trismegistus -
"If you know the way broadly, you will see it in all things."

Living life.

“Do not concern yourself with Heaven and Hell.
Straight ahead is the pale morning moon.
Set your mind there without a cloud in sight.”
