Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.

Winter is the slow-down
Winter is the search for self
Winter gives the silence you need to listen
Winter goes gray so you can see your own colors.

Heart, don't fail me now!
Courage, don't desert me!
Don't turn back now that we're here.
People always say
Life is full of choices.
No one ever mentions fear!
Or how the world can seem so vast
On a journey to the past.

- Anastasia, "Journey to the Past"

Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones.

If you pass a church and hear the organ being played, go inside and listen. If you are fortunate enough to be allowed to sit on the organist’s bench, then put your fingers on the keys and be astonished at the omnipotence of music. Miss no opportunity to practise on the organ. No other instrument takes such an immediate revenge on sloppiness in composition or playing.
