There will always be a certain small percentage of persons who feel a burning curiosity about unknown outer space, and a burning desire to escape from the prison-house of the known and the real into those enchanted lands of incredible adventure and infinite possibilities which dreams open up to us, and which things like deep woods, fantastic urban towers, and flaming sunsets momentarily suggest.

It is this simple understanding that allows me to persist in my study.

The lessons I learn on the mat will serve me in every area of life-- personal development, relationships, business, and the like. "
