My own words are not the medicine, but a prescription; not the destination, but a map to help you reach it. When you get there, quiet your mind and close your mouth. Don’t analyze the Tao. Strive instead to live it: silently, undividedly, with your whole harmonious being.–Lao-Tzu
To see a man fearless in dangers, untainted with lusts, happy in adversity, composed in a tumult, and laughing at all those things which are generally either coveted or feared, all men must acknowledge that this can be from nothing else but a beam of divinity that influences a mortal body.–Seneca
I’m tryin’…;-)

“Contemplate the workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, take all that is good as your own. With this as your base, open your own door to truth. Do not overlook the truth that is right before you. Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything—even mountains, rivers, plants, and trees—should be your teacher.”–Unknown
Everything in nature, everything in the universe teaches me. And what they teach me is to be whole.
I am a whole man. And I will be nothing less than that.

If you want to know why I fight hard any notion of me being complete, here’s one explanation.
“Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.” ~ Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of the Martial Art of Aikido from The Art of Peace
