Your Trail of Inspiration
'Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.' Easily written, easily said. More challenging to carry out. Whenever stopped by fear of the unknown or thwarted by the ease of the familiar remember; becoming one's own 'never before seen Destiny' is an extraordinary act of organic inspiration not only for yourself, but for all those around you. Live in the truth of who you are and the road will follow...

Quiet Inspiration
“I learned... that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic striving, but it comes into us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness.”

Fierce Peace
"Everyday we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our life..., our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive." Know then that Peace is a fierce struggle, which can only be waged with peaceful action.

Bursting With Being
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

Obstinate fidelity to peaceful steps will bear your Hopes into the future's light; So turn gently your back on the temptations of anger's unpleasant paths.

Forms of Freedom
Once we have the condition of peace and joy in us, we can afford to be in any situation. Even in the situation of hell, we will be able to contribute our peace and serenity.
The most important thing is for each of us to have some freedom in our heart

Dreams Create
Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

Breathing Compassion
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.

I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands.
