Cherish the Whimsey

You're only given a little spark of madness.
You mustn't lose it.
- Robin Williams

The moment you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfulness,
all the burden on your heart disappears.
All the fear of death, of life, of love - everything disappears.
- Osho

We don't stop playing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop playing.
- George Bernard Shaw

Wonder what opportunities you pass, unwittingly,
because your hands are so busy clasping what you think you have always known.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

Today is your day to
smile broadly, sing loudly,
paint your rooms in bold colors,
search every rabbit hole
for a magical white bunny,
have caviar for breakfast
and oatmeal for dinner,
wear a purple coat with a red hat,
and dance lightly with life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
