"When it's time to die, go ahead and die, and when it's time to live, live. Don't sort-of-maybe-live, but live like you're going all out, like you're not afraid." -Sue Monk Kidd - The Secret Life of Bees	"People say that we're searching for the meaning of life. I don't think that's it at all. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive." -Aron Ralston - Between A Rock and A Hard Place
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming...Damn, what a ride!"	"The instrument of our bodies, when fully tuned and aligned, move with a grace and rhythm that is holy. In that holiness we are capable of our greatest actions. In those actions our lives become Spirit Song." Deep Water Passage - A spiritual journey at Midlife by Ann Linnea
