the Prayer of St. Francis … (12/30/10)

“Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love; Where there is injury, let me sow pardon; Where there is doubt, let me sow faith; Where there is despair, let me sow hope; Where there is darkness, let me sow light; And where there is sadness, let me […]

The Soul’s Summit … (12/30/10)

The Love that my willing self-destruction allows to blossom is the epitome of invincibility … I can no longer be harmed by anyone or anything, as I no longer long for Love, but have become Love itself. And what is this pure LOVE? It is the highest spinneret on every gleaming citadel … and the […]

Put your Prayers to the Pen … (12/30/11)

“Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education; dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?” ~ Nietzsche Love must be done to BE, and yet there are many ways to dance Love’s […]

The true Hero … (12/26/10)

“In the first stage, man and sword become one and each other. Here, even a blade of grass can be used as lethal weapon. In the next stage, the sword resides not in the hand but in the heart. Here, even without a weapon, the warrior can slay his enemy from 100 paces. But the […]

The Gathering of the Tribes … (11/15/09)

“Can you hear it? Whispering on the edges of your ears… Soft rumbling underneath your feet… It’s the gathering of the tribes. People coming from a distance, on a long, long journey to get here. Stepping up, gathering together, forming strong bonds, hand to hand. Eyes meeting, smiles of recognition. Sighs of sweet relief, as each […]

The Perfect Life … (04/15/09)

Life is good when I am loved … … Life is perfect when I Love. Life is good when I am thirsty and drink a cool drought … … Life is perfect when I give another the “water of life.” (the pure Acceptance of compassionate forgiveness) Life is good when I am hungry and eat […]
