that their thinking is done by their head;

All things connect."

"Go forth into the busy world and love it.
Interest yourself in its life,
mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows.
Try what you can do for others
rather than what you can make them do for you,
and you will know what it is to have friends."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"My spirit will never be broken or caught
for the soul is a free flying thing
like an eagle that needs neither comfort
nor thought to rise up on glorious wings...."

"If you learn from your suffering,
and really come to understand
the lesson you were taught,
you might be able to help
someone else who's now in the
phase you may have just completed.
Maybe that's what it's all about after all."
