I believe there is a way by which we can achieve a perfect balance in all these things, for after all, there [...]

I think that we are most afraid of things that we do not know, and so we try to explain everything, even [...]

Joy is in cool mornings,
A cool morning breeze when the sun is bright;
Joy is in this feeling,
Of rebirth and delight.
And I yearn to wake up and awaken;
I yearn to walk beneath the light;
I yearn to walk just near the trees,
