Quotes by Herman Veitch (?)

“You have already resigned as general manager of the universe. Trust yourself and the process of living. What must happen, will happen. Only be present and pay attention. Open up space to be fascinated by what is happening before your eyes. Go into the flow and be surprised at what gifts come to you. Enjoy the moment. “The more I practice, the luckier I get.” —Gary Player”
― Herman Veitch, Thinking about Thinking: An Introduction to Observing your own mind
