Food For Thought


When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it.

There is no need to justify what we are. There is no need to work hard to become what we are not. We just need to return to our integrity, to the way we were before we learned to speak. Perfect.

We enjoy life; we want to explore and have fun/ nobody teaches us to be that way; we are born that way. - Miguel Ruiz
