All of my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer

The Most Alive Moment

The most living moment comes when

those who love each other meet each

other's eyes and in what flows

between them then. To see your face

in a crowd of others, or alone on a 

frightening street, I weep for that.

Our tears improve the earth. The 

time you scolded me, your gratitude,

your laughing, always your qualities

increase

Manipulation is understanding every reason to resist and persuading despite them.

Participation is recognizing every reason to commit and embodying that choice fully.

Activation is turning insight into action, where knowledge and effort meet in purpose.

“Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you're about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you're wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, 'I haven't touched you yet.”
