There is a fine line between perseverance and insanity.
At what point have you tried your best,
and it's time to do something different?
It's a balance - a paradox.
If you get in the habit of giving up
as soon as something gets difficult,
your life won't work,
but if you keep tilting at windmills -
madly trying the same thing again and again,
your life also won't work.

relax into being ourselves,
play with our inner child,

dig in the dirt,
grow something,
love somebody else,

clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.

Anger and Danger are intimately intertwined.
An angry person is a dangerous person,
whether that person crosses our path
or whether the angry person is ourself.

we tend to exhibit anger as well as fear.
We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,
and direct our anger toward them.

Surrounded by the winds and the rain,

a time for repose and contemplation.

for future generations.
Create the legacy of a better world.
Leave this world a better place than you found it.

to represent the kind of legacy
you want to leave to future generations.
