Gemini

"You only live twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams.
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Til one dream appears and love is it's name.
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on.
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.
This dream is for you, so pay the price.
Make one dream come true, you only live twice."

---John Barry (title track to the 1967 'James Bond' film "You Only Live Twice")

Volunteer

"We're in a free-fall into the future. We don't know where we're going. Things are changing so fast. And as always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It's a very interesting shift of perspective...joyfully participate in the sorrows of the world and everything changes."

---Joseph Campbell, "Sukhavati--The Place of Bliss"
