What would our lives be like without tests, odds against us, adventure, risk?
Richard Bach
Image
Did you ever feel that you were missing someone you had never met?
Richard Bach
Image
This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make one's self popular with other birds. Even his parents were dismayed as Jonathan spent whole days alone, making hundreds of low-level glides, experimenting.

Navigate by the same star, unwilling to change, and you find yourself not only off-course but lost.

Mortalhood is a fine state to visit, but you'd better not call it home.
Richard Bach
Image
When you dream, all the scenery, characters, events, perils, and outcomes are built from your own consciousness, the darks and oppressions as well as the delights. Same with the world awake, though it takes you longer to build it.
