~ Chögyam Trungpa, Rinpoche

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

He was a little sad that the animals told him that he's a little too big to be accepted in their club, but the monkey told him that he's the only non member who's allowed in their tree house.
