Infinite Pursuit

Beware of traps and illusions, open your eyes to the real world, where phonies fade away to the shadows that they truly are. Frauds and phonies are everywhere, especially in high places, and especially when we are young because then we are more impressionable and can be all the more easily manipulated. Trust no one who does not love you, and reach out with love in return. All these actions are more important than having a successful career or getting good grades or making lots of money. The world is, really, almost completely upside down from what the authorities tell us. Thenk for yourself and take nothing on faith, even when it seems absolutely dependable and true. And don't be afraid to fail, even at this.

Wild Child Full of Grace

Happiness should NOT be our primary goal in life--we were not born to be just happy. We were born to LIVE and living encompasses the entire range of human emotions: pleasure, pain, love, hate, bravado, fear, restlessness & peace, JOY & sorrow. We will experience and ARE all of these emotions. We should bathe/bask/simmer/stew/ in the experience of each. Experience Life!

Happy Valentines Day, revisited

The sky is a deep, inviting blue
But if it was green would it be wrong?
My skin is white
If it was black would I look wrong?
I speak your tongue
If I did not, would I speak wrong?
I pray your prayers
If they were others, would I pray wrong?
God made the Earth with such diversity.
We should worship the differences
Embrace what is not the same.

Humanity has a built-in flaw
That guarantees its destruction.
INTOLERENCE.
I hate your color
I hate your language
I hate your lifestyle
I hate your religion
I hate where you live
I hate your eyes
I hate you 'cause you're not like me.

Happy Valentines Day

Where are you? People who don't judge and are not overburdened with insecurities. Who don't pick at every imperfection they believe they see in you. Who understand everyone is DIFFERENT. You should not judge me using yourself as the template, just as you should not judge yourself by what I appear to be.
Where are you? People I can feel comfortable with. Who won't stab me in the back. Who won't leave me for dead. Who won't give up on me. Who know that I accept them for what they are. Who are one with the world. Who see the differences all around them but accept difference as the wonder of the world's diversity instead of some aberrant imperfection.
Where are you?
