I tried and failed, yet, kept climbing again,
somehow undaunted,
towards the never ending,
New Beginnings.

We will know a planet ..

by the way it treats its animals, 

including the human kind. 

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS CURE?

Carl Safina takes us inside the lives and minds of animals around the world, witnessing their profound capacity for perception, thought and emotion, showing why the word “it” is often inappropriate as we discover “who” they really are. And yet, we are wiping out the very animals we should celebrate; we are the flood coming for Noah’s Ark. Carl leaves us with a difficult question: Do we have what it takes to let life on earth survive?

Bodhicitta (awakened mind/heart)
shines through the darkness of ignorance.
We become helpful, sane, and loving people.

“We are individually powerful, even as ONE.
Yet, noONE is an island unto their~self.
Connecting with each ONE creates a symphony,
A song.
in co~hear~and~see,
within the orchestra of life …
together,
doing no harm,
to ONE,
or Another.”

“The signposts have fallen, un~blazed trails lie before us.

Do not be greedy to gobble up the fruit of foreign fields.

Do you not know that you yourselves are the fertile acre

which bears all that avail you?

Carl Gustav Jung. 

“Learning is definitely not mere imitation,

nor is it the ability to accumulate and regurgitate fixed knowledge.

Learning is a constant process of discovery, a process without end.”

~ Bruce Lee

“We cannot liberate a slave when he holds onto his chain.” 

~ Val Thor

“The woods,

the soil beneath my bare feet,

the air,

the gentle breeze,

The sounds of nature,

In its many capacities,

Calls to me.

I walk this way,

With deliberate necessity

For what it has to teach

A yearning to live for,

Every breath I take

May it be fulfilled

Every step of the way.

And when I die

Between life and death I knew

The similarity

and the difference

Between the two.

For without one,

The other could not have known.”
