Above all, my mother. She has been through so much adversity and persevered through all of it - never losing her infinite capacities for kindness, integrity, self-respect, selflessness, and wisdom. My gratitude for her is forever immeasurable.

Inspiration is the air I breathe. Complacence is my greatest fear.
My idea of fulfillment is not the act of physically "filling" the socially constructed voids that have come to serve as normalizing elements in our everyday, worldly existence [i.e., reputation, power, material "success", etc]. These are creations of the mind and are inherently unreal - mere illusions that obscure our true interdependent and interconnected nature. I feel that fulfillment embodies the ability to sustain a continuously evolving state of being...to never want to stop learning...to keep a robust sense of humor...to perpetually realize and expand one's potential to improve the world we live in. Simple pleasures and the magnificence of nature never cease to humble me. My goal is to continuously better myself as a person; I welcome any and all criticism that may render the footprint I leave on this world, and on others, more positive.
What gets me out of bed in the morning is the work I do. International human rights issues have been my passion for more than a decade, and will likely continue to remain the focus of my life as long as I exist in this form. Working with mentally ill homeless people, genocide survivors from Rwanda, refugees from Darfur and child soldiers from Burma has taught me more about life and the human condition than any schooling ever could have. While I am often sarcastic and can come off as cynical, the truth is that people amaze me every day.
I live to gain perspective and insight from life experience, struggle, humor, travel, and connecting with others. Painfully awkward moments are unhealthily amusing to me. My most treasured possession is my collection of memories - the sleepless nights, the close-calls, the crazy adventures, the mind-blowing conversations, the inside jokes shared with great friends. Shameless fits of laughter and unbridled spontaneity are delicious. My favorite way to be happy is to find beauty in others.
I believe in the power of intention, and I feel that the human mind has untapped potential.
Namaste... :)

"One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, 'My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.'
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked, 'Which wolf wins?' The old Cherokee simply replied, 'The one you feed.' "

"I have to live with myself, and so
I want to be fit for myself to know.
I want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself straight in the eye;
I don't want to stand with the setting sun,
And hate myself for the things I've done.
I don't want to keep on the closet shelf
A host of secrets about myself
And fool myself, as I come and go,
Into thinking that nobody else will know
The kind of a person I really am.
I don't want to dress up myself in sham...
I want to go out with my head erect -
I want to deserve all people's respect;
But here in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to look at myself and know
That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me -
I see what others may never see;
I know what others may never know...
I never can fool myself, and so
Whatever happens, I want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free."
Thank you for being my Friend. There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks
Have the best week of your life. Best wishes ever,
I like your profile. I like your person. I like your personality. I like your identity. I like your thinking. I like your deeds. I like your views of life. Everything is so real and thoughtful. I greet you :) Peace
Bless you for your support, and thank you for being my friend. We are, all of us, connected by the universal threads. What you desire is what I also desire for you. Best wishes in all that you do, and if you wish to follow up on Mind Power then please see my site: http://www.cosmicordering.net
Thank you for being my friend. Do not say, "It is morning," and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.
Hey...thanks for being my Friend. I hope you have a most rewarding weekend in all that you do. And remember this, persons with weight of character carry, like planets, their atmospheres along with them in their orbits. Again, have a most rewarding weekend.

When You Are Good Current mood: sad Category: Writing and Poetry
Actions does all the talking, Everything you put your energy to is excellent, The appearance is immaculant, Words spoken are eloquent; Everyone adores you, Your heart is filled with love,Though you're not perfect, You possess favor from above; No matter how the obstacles of life may come your way, Adversity may appear, You keep a smile on your face, You are so happy to see another day; You put your all into something and nothing less, If you were a garbage man or the CEO of YOUR own COMPANY, You strive to be the best; You are headed to the top, It's just a matter of time, The journey to the pinnacle, First starts in your mind; Beware of distractions that may sway your path, The gold mine lies within you, Your thoughts are the map; The mountain of victory is a long climb, You stay focused, You were born to shine; A unique person of talent is often times misunderstood, You endure the pain of hatred, Only when you are GOOD,,,,, PLEASE REPLY
Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale. It cannot be fabricated out of public relations. It comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when we suddenly realize that, knowing the good, we have done it; knowing the beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth we have spoken it. Have a rewarding and satisfying weekend. If you have an interest in following up on Cosmic ordering then you can see more details at my site: http://www.cosmicordering.net
