Torchsinger / Entertainment Lawyer in Austin's Interests
General
People; I love to meet new people, especially if they come from a different viewpoint, culture, experience. I embrace what is different in others so that i can better understand their viewpoint and so that we can find common group as individuals and with all of humanity. To find a way to touch humanity in a meaningful way, to find a way to tithe to the universe. To find a way to stop global warming and find a way to make hybrid cars as cool as conspicuous consumption is in the US.

"This planet is work.
If you do a lot of worry, it produces nothing.
If you do a lot of work, it always produces a result.
If you do the ‘right’ work, it produces the ’right’ result.
However, there is no ‘right’ worry because it never produces a result,
So worry is never right." Robin Raben

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. You are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within you. It's not in some of us; its in everyone. Give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson

Those who travel, with the clothes on their back, to find a better life.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breath free.
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazurus, 1883
Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty
As a country, as a people, what have we become? Surely we are judged by how we treat those most vulnerable among us.

"Manners are of more importance than laws. .. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation like that of the air we breathe in."

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals.
It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "feed an animal in need" for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
