"The whole world seems like waves or ripples on the surface or a vast and deep ocean. You are that ocean and, of course, you are also a ripple, but a ripple that has realized its true identity as the ocean, and compared to that vastness and depth, the world of waves and ripples is not all that important." - Eckhart Tolle &nbsp; A special Happy Birthday message and the above quote is dedicated to TM Yuquimpo of Southeast Asia from her sister as she celebrates her 24th birthday!
