Knowing the World and Our Fellow Travelers

The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.
Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist

  4. It speaks to me of meeting and loving
    people where they are... And, knowing
    that we *are* this love that we are
    looking for - recognizing it within
    ourselves...

    And what an exquisite photo!!!
