Opening Quote from The Beach Movie

Quote from the beach 211x300 Opening Quote from The Beach MovieThere is a certain satisfaction in completing a good pack.  When everything is done and everything is ready: the journey begins.   That about sums up my morning today.  I am beginning a new journey towards the unknown, with no plans or schedule, no itinerary, or idea of what the future holds; I am completely free.  I thought I would leave you with a couple quotes from the two movies I decided to watch before my trip.  I hope you enjoy….

Opening Quote from The Beach – Movie

”My name is Richard; so what else do you need to know?  Stuff about my family or where I am from? None of that matters.  Not once you have crossed the ocean and cut yourself lose; looking for something more beautiful; more exciting.  And yes I admit something more dangerous.  So after 18 hours in the back of an airplane; three dumb movies; two plastic meals; six beers and absolutely no sleep.  I finally touched down…”

“…So never refuse an invitation; never resist the unfamiliar; never fail to be polite; never over stay your welcome.  Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience: and if it hurts it’s probably worth it.”

“and as for traveling alone; fuck it.  If that’s the way it has to be; then that’s the way it is.” Quote The Beach Movie

The movie Pointbreak

“I must be crazy.”

“but are you crazy enough”

Paulo Coelho the road to Santiago 300x300 A Zen Art Blog“The reason why we are here, I call “The Personal Legend”. All my characters, somehow they have a reason to be here, and they have to struggle to find their place under the sun. Which they do…
…and of course they have to pay a high price.”  Paulo Coelho

My mantra is: To Strive for Love, To seek knowledge, To Find happiness, and Yield not to fear.  Inspired by my favorite poem Ulysses by Lord Alfred Tennyson.  “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
