Life is not about the amount of breaths you take. It is about the amount of moments that take your breath away.

May you experience many breathless moments in your life.

And Now Here Is My Secret, a Very Simple Secret; It Is Only With The Heart That One Can See Rightly, What Is Essential Is Invisible To The Eye. --Antoine De Saint-Exupery
