It’s a grand thing to get leave to live.*
Nan Shepherd

To be human means not only to be different, but also to become different, that is, to change.**
Viktor Frankl

That you are here is the biggest break of all –
The odds against this were incalculable, and yet
here you are;
Any further breaks are small in comparison to this, but,
More importantly, the next thing to figure out is
how to keep changing, growing, moving,
Something you must do in your own incomparable way.
