The moment you become miserly you are closed
to the basic phenomenon of life: expansion, sharing.
The moment you start clinging to things,
you have missed the target.

you, your innermost being, is the target -
not a beautiful house, but a beautiful you;
not much money, but a rich you;
not many things, but an open being,
available to millions of things.
- Osho

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Today is the day to invest in those people
we hope will call us "old friend" in the years to come.
- Grant Fairley
