Life had taught her that consequences were ugly and painful, and seldom worth the pleasure they had been bartered for.

My father told me once that we are on earth to learn. God wants us to receive everything that life was meant to teach. Then we take what we've learned, and it becomes our offering to God and to mankind. But we have to live in order to learn. And sometimes we have to fight in order to live.

Karma bides it's time. You will always have to watch out. Karma is unforgiving and always gets payback.

Seek for no meaning in it; it has none. What meaning is there in pain and pleasure? They are twins; that is all we know. Seek no meaning in anything you see here. Images, ideas, flashes of purpose will peer out in all our ways and deeds, but there is no intention here below. Is there any intention anywhere?

This is a great reward. It's been a tough job, but worth every minute we put into this project. For us, the race was the reward. We just wanted to see if we could do it and if it would run. Coming in first is a fantastic bonus!

Through your deepest pain comes your greatest pleasure…
