“What the universe has in store for you is destiny which happens to be your own account of past deeds.

“Ich wusste es. Ich spürte es, wenn der Wind meinen Körper umgarnte und dabei ein wohlig frisches Gefühl hinterließ. Ich spürte es, wenn meine Ohren, das Geräusch des Meeres vernahmen. Ich spürte es, wenn ich das Licht erblickte, wie es die endlose Wolkendecke durchbrach. Ich spürte es, wenn das kühle Nass meine Zehen in sich aufnahm. Ich spürte es, wenn meine Nase den Geruch eines jungen Frühlingsregens genoss. Ich spürte es, wenn ich den Mut besaß hinzuschauen.”

“As we emerge back into our lives, we may never again take for granted: Hugging a friend. Shaking hands in business. Flying to another location. Being able to work unimpeded. The roar of the crowd in the stadium. Watching a concert with 18,000 fans. Laughing in a movie theater. Visiting the elders in society. Shopping easily for food. Getting a haircut. The school rush each morning. Sitting on the freeway with others. Dining at our favorite restaurant. Visiting our grandchildren. Enjoying our work at the office. Dancing with your loved ones. Or a walk on the beach. Perhaps when this ends, we will discover that we have evolved more into the people we had wished we were prior to this giant life lesson. And perhaps our appreciation of one another will help us discover the very best in ourselves.”
