inspiration, Peace

 Today may there be peace within.
 May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.
May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you.
 May you be content with yourself just the way you are.
Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
 It is there for each and every one of us.

Earth Day 2014, Paul Hawken

When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always the same: If you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren’t pessimistic, you don’t understand data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the poor, and you aren’t optimistic, you haven’t got a pulse. What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world.”  Paul HawkenPaulHawken_MAIN

Right now

You, just as you are, and your life here right now, are all there is and all you need to know. You don’t have to do anything special. Mostly, you have to be open to meeting face-to-face, and even dancing with, the truth that pertains to your life right now. You have to find a way to collect your fractured pieces, examine them, and then accept them as part of who you are. Spiritual practice is about transformation, but it’s also, and more importantly, about working with what is.

—Angel Kyodo Williams

Art is the way.

Creativity is the source that sustains and connects all humanity. Without it, there would be no change. With it, we are small but real gods and goddesses.

We are all artists, even if you never pick up paint and brush, chisel and hammer, or pencil and paper. Art is a way of thinking, a way of being, a way of life.
