Even if I had expected it, even if I had known what I was going to do with my life, it would have knocked the wind out of me. When something that violent hits you, you can't help but lose your balance and fall.

True celebration should come from your life, in your life. And true celebration cannot be according to the calendar, that on the first of November you will celebrate.

And once the first of November has gone, you are back in your dark hole, everybody in his misery, everybody in his anxiety. ~Rajneesh
