“People were created to be loved, things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved, and people are being used.” ~Unknown I came upon this quote today randomly, and with it I find myself in a sphere of polarity. We all should be so […]
“We feel and know that we are eternal.” ~ Baruch Spinoza I’ve always been fascinated by the notions of destiny, fate, cycles of life and possible past or future incarnations. These thoughts can be perplexing, even paradoxical when given full attention. Understanding or exploring these concepts brings us into a sphere we all visit from […]
“The Sage falls asleep not because he ought to, nor even because he wants to, but because he is sleepy.” ~Raymond M. Smullyan We live in a busy world, with busy people using busy things. Sometimes in all of this “business of busyness” we forget to stop and remember where our feet are even planted, […]
“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” ~ Lao Tzu For many years I have labored to find subtle ways of self-expression, always taking a path less traveled; one with no footprints to follow.

For me, this rarely happens, but I hear these statements often; these bricks […]
“Do not seek to bring things to pass in accordance with your wishes, but wish for them as they are, and you will find them.” ~Epictetus What is a wish? I think honestly that all men, women and children have a wish, or have had a wish, or, if luckily smiled upon have had that […]
“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.” ~ Saint Augustine Break for a minute and refresh your spirit. Cleanse the heart and mind.
