• Wishing is good for us.
  Daydreams, fantasies, castles in the air, and aspirations
  All drive us forward,
  Impel us to make things happen.
  They also tell us a lot about ourselves.
  Our wishes come straight from our core,
  And they are loaded with vital information
  About who we are and who we can become.
  Keeping track of our wishes
  Helps us tap into the energy
  That propels us to go after our happiness.

• We live here and now. Everything before and in other places is past. Mostly forgotten. What could, what should be done with all the time that lies ahead of us, open and unshaped, feather-light in its freedom and lead-heavy in its uncertainty? Is it a wish? Dream-like and nostalgic, to stand once again at that point in life and be able to take a completely different direction than the one that has made us who we are?

  Pascal Mercier

• The truth of who we are has nothing to do with religion or the type of car that we drive or the color of our skin. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. And the human experience part is very temporary. So, things like the bar, love, magic, dancing, and colors are there to remind us to not take all of this stuff so seriously.
