Researching ancient kingdoms and empires, both good and bad (South America, Central America, Europe, the Mediterranean). Asking what bought these down, what made them work, where might we be on that scale? In these changing times, thought it interesting to reflect in this way. As we seem to be globally now a society that is...
You are the gatekeeper the holder of this precious gem. Yours the choice to do with what you may. Yours to stomp on, to fight through, to rip apart, to scream and shout. To hate to fight to be in pain, or worst cause. But yours also to celebrate, to cherish, to hold dear, to...
This is not my normal approach. But across much of the reading I am doing, this diagram "arrived", to me. Contained therein are layers on layers on layers. Transcends time, combines history, summarises the fight between left and right, speaks of separation only at our own hand. Speaks of why your journey to the right...
That gift given, without cost, yet immeasurably taken for granted. Waste not a tic, not one. Remember; remember the gift given, without hidden clause, for you to discover freely all that life has to offer. Take moments often to pause, and remember, be grateful, for all that is given. The stress others would have you...
The hate and distrust installed. The "ownership" trap. The consumption that is toxic to the core? "They" aren't the problem. I am and you are. Changing the world, wishing for something better, takes but a step, not more. Step by step the sum total is the change desired. Courage is required to put down everything...

Those of old, no longer attract as once before. But yet that of the ordinary takes new light, new detail as...
If you take a moment to think about your balance, the real balance of life how weighted or where is the weight in your life? On the job? The mortgage, the credit card debt? Being upset or angry at someone? The daily newspaper? Planning for bad things to happen to someone else? Constantly worrying about...
It seeking from us answers about ourselves, like at no other time before. We arrived here, without effort. Given all we needed right there in the moment. The single most precious gift one could ever dream of, from the most distant realms, right from the start. Life with the ability to be free. To choose...
So crammed full, of all that is "good". Yet when paused for a moment all is toxic to the core. Toxic the food provided, toxic the air breathed, poisoned the water consumed, to another agenda this tune played. Even the extreme where hunger and death abounds, wars played out, is simply another scene in the...
Too often the politics (and the way we conduct ourselves) of this world are based on poverty. If people are poor, they want to take money or resources away from those who have more. And if people are wealthy, in the sense of having money or worldly resources, then they want to hold onto what...
