Image is only temporal. Substance endures. Who said, "Image is everything"? And who believed it?

For the human experience, life in the natural world seems to require the application of meaning, in order to evoke purpose.

Though the earth contains greater energy and mass than any single being, linked together, "people make the world go-round".

Bling" is not an indication of riches. It is a product of value-based spending, to enrich the pockets of those outside of ones sphere of influence...the haves' bleeding the have-nots'.

If you wish to transform, pretend this day until it is so.

To witness miracles unfold in your experience, count your blessings and be thankful. Perceived small blessings accumulate to be the most powerful.

Bravado may stir the crowd, but courage needs no audience.

There is bound to be turbulence in the clouds of confusion before one can view the friendly skies, and an illuminated landing strip.

During moments of strife and 'dis-ease', check your flow and redirect your focus to that which is naturally good.

When individuals and communities do not govern self, they risk being ruled by external forces that care less about the well-being of the village.

Do not only think about it, but feel about it, also, before taking appropriate action.

In the game of life, we all receive a set of variables and limitations in the field of play. We can either focus on the lack thereof or empower ourselves to create better realities with the pieces we play the game with.

Solitude is the house of peace.

Divide the constant tide and random noisiness of energetic flow, with conscious recurring moments of empty mind, solitude, gratitude and deep...slow...breathing. Of this, the natural law of self-preservation demands.

Freedom is realizing you have a choice.

What surrounds us is what is within us.

Though I think and speak of greater becoming, I, too, am an infinite work in progress.

I choose many voices to consider and reckon with, rather than just one to tolerate.
