Seek Freedom
To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there.

Meet Things Anew
So to live each moment now without the burden of the past or of the present, without that crippling memory created by the lack of understanding, mind must ever meet things anew.

So when you come to that life with a freshness, then you will know what it is to live without conflict, without this continual straining effort. Then you wander far on the floods of life. – Krishnamurti

Don’t seek and find.” – Osho, Book of Secrets
