We forget that walls are meant to be scaled, to peer over,

to sit on dangling our feet over the edge, to see new possibilities

and discover a new way of being.

Tear down your wall of protection that limits your view of extraordinary possibilities.

Live fearlessly free. Let nothing and no one hold you back.

Life doesn’t wait for safe moments. We create them and live them as we go.

Climb the wall. Jump over the fence and welcome your new journey.

of the deep dives

If at eighty you’re not a cripple or an invalid, if you have your health, if you still enjoy a good walk, a good meal (with all the trimmings), if you can sleep without first taking a pill, if birds and flowers, mountains and sea still inspire you, you are a most fortunate individual and you should get down on your knees morning and night and thank the good Lord for his savin’ and keepin’ power. If you are young in years but already weary in spirit, already on the way to becoming an automaton, it may do you good to say to your boss — under your breath, of course — “Fuck you, Jack! You don’t own me!” … If you can fall in love again and again, if you can forgive your parents for the crime of bringing you into the world, if you are content to get nowhere, just take each day as it comes, if you can forgive as well as forget, if you can keep from growing sour, surly, bitter and cynical, man you’ve got it half licked.

~Henry Miller
