“The road up and the road down is one and the same.”

-- Heraclitus

It take a grain of love (grain of love)
To make a mighty tree (mighty tree)
Even the smallest voice (smallest voice)
Can make a harmony (harmony)

Like a drop of water (drop of water)
In the river high (river high)
There are miracles (there are miracles)
For you and I (For you, and you and I)

-The Color Purple, Broadway (2015)

"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both." -James Michener

"If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down."  -Mary Pickford 

It's not about perfect, it's about effort. 
And when you bring that effort every single day, that's where the transformation happens.  That's how change occurs.  
                                                                                                                     -Michaels

Betty Draper: You don’t kiss boys, boys kiss you. The first kiss is very special.
Sally Draper: But I already did it. It’s over.
Betty: You’re going to have a lot of first kisses. You’re going to want it to be special, so you’ll remember. It’s where you go from being a stranger to knowing someone. And every kiss with them after that is a shadow of that kiss.
