I must touch/
the bark of a tree/
or the blade of grass/
or stare into the folds of a flower/
each day/
to reignite/
the mystery/
of life.
Each Day

We need both. Balance.
Separate AND equal energies for creating a world wwhere we treat everyone and everything with kindness and respect.
So be it.

What moxie.
“You see me. I know it. I know you’re there, but I’m not going to look.”
It was her “welcome to the neighborhood” for me.

Someday
Conditions are never perfect. “Someday” is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. If it’s important to you and you want to do it “eventually,” just do it and correct course along the way. -Timothy Ferriss
First Thought
First thoughts have tremendous energy. It is the way the mind first flashes on something-
