Pay It Forward.
Gift future generations in proportion to your gratitude.

choose to take "pay it forward" farther - much farther.

The heart is always right -

- Osho
When you cry and weep,
when you are miserable,
you are alone.

the whole existence participates with you.
Only in celebration
do we meet the ultimate, the eternal.
Only in celebration
do we go beyond the circle of birth and death.
- Osho
