We understand the idea of man's inhumanity to man all too well. What does the other side of that coin look like? What does it mean to be human in the finest sense? |
| Life is so special. In a few short years it is over. This day, this breath, is your moment in the sun. Ask yourself this: when your life is over, will you see it as a thing of beauty, or as a fleeting vanity? | |
| Only you can live your life. While you may not control the circumstances around you, you certainly control the character of your response to those circumstances. What are those responses based on? Are they fundamentally based on fear? Love? Greed? Compassion? There are many possibilities. You cannot control the weather, but you are free to select the foundation on which your dwelling is built. Will you build on the sands of ego-based emotions, or on something more substantial? | |
| I believe that human nature, at its core, is finer and more beautiful than we dare to imagine. Your inner nature is the essence of who you are. Life is your opportunity to write the name of who you are on the canvass of eternity. Discover who you are, dear one. Find your inherent beauty, and write big. | |
| This website is dedicated to my friends on the path. May we help each other discover the excellence of our humanity. | |

The Quest |
The essays in this section encourage a fresh look at the content of your mind. |
|
Poetry |
Understanding things intellectually is one thing; understanding with the heart is another. Heart-knowledge is closer to the truth of who we are. Poetry contains a mix of mind and heart. |
|
Spirit Art |
The artwork included in this section was selected because I found it was based on a spiritual experience or conveyed spiritual feelings. |
