Oh, the Places You'll Go

I remember being in elementary school and thinking it was strange that my mother was giving my cousins who were graduating from high school / college a Dr. Seuss book: Oh, the Places You'll Go . From the Cat in the Hat to Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Seuss definitely was an expert at his craft. But hearing the book again, Oh, the Places You'll Go, the words are full of lessons we can learn from at any age, or anywhere... even at Burning Man.

{Oh, the Places You'll Go Burning Man style. FYI, there may be an age restriction, but it's all happiness}

For a more traditional rendition, here's Jon Lithgow reading the book, kid-style below.
