and keeps it in the air. – David Allen Sibley

You must find the force within you. – Joseph Campbell

Life is simple, as simple as a glorious sunrise and a

good hunt.

Work Hard

Grace, style and precision are a combination often dismissed as luck.

If you work hard, you will always be “lucky.”

Look Up

The things you discover while looking into the skies

are worth the occasional stumbling.

So keep looking up.
