Life is a series of little moments, the best of which start an adventure.

For a scientist, a moment of curiosity can start an adventure of discovery.

For a teacher, a moment with a student can start an adventure of learning.

For a yogi, a moment on the mat can start an adventure of awareness.

For a writer, a moment of inspiration can start an adventure of creativity.

And a moment of creativity can become a story.
