“Love yourself enough to take care of your health of mind, body, and soul as a top priority, then you'lll be fit to face anything.”

“We are the universe seeking truth.”

“What destiny is there, but to sense, observe, merge, re-emerge,Empty, yet filled, spreading everywhere, inside, outside, in, Pulsing, fluctuating, breathing as part of one being, Whispering, feeling, reflecting, flowing between hot and cold, Mineral and plant, dark and light, love and fear, new and old.”

“ARTThe world is full of confusion and contradiction. We cannot expect to do anything that is absolutely right. We can only measure rightness by the truth within ourselves. And our own truth will never be quite the same as somebody else's. I wish that I could touch you and be sure that it was the right thing to do. I only want to touch you briefly. Just once so that you will know. We are flesh and blood and full of faults. But we are also full of warmth. The world is full of confusion but there is compassion in its midst. communication via simple touch can transmit so much of us in just one minute. Like a painting or a piece of music. I want to touch your soul. I only wish I could be sure it was the right thing to do.”

“The misconception of something being a certainty sometimes gets to me until I remember we can change most things consciously.”

“Needing to express what it’s like here.... / Trying to digest the incoming stream .... / And dream it all over again.”

“grappling with some small understanding of this place, this time, we're in" my poem "In a BishopsWood Clearing”

“To lose a problem, do not oppose, let go of any need to control, perhaps it's all an illusion we project, more like a game we play than real?”

“When you truly sing, you sing yourself free. When you truly dance, you dance yourself free. When you walk in the mountains or swim in the sea, again, you set yourself free.”

“...notice all the many beautiful things, nature, your own soul, stuff other people do.... like help out, smile, create, dance...”

“The Conditioned Mind / shuts off magical vision and gnosis / gives up freedom, truth, real choices / loses sight of love, trust, and social coherence / loses touch with organic life, gives way to interference // risks personal wellbeing, peace of heart, balance of mind / is tricked into believing we need power, money, lies / and people to lead us by the nose into violence and war / is hypnotised, drugged, poisoned, misinformed.”

“All I can say to people who hate their mothers for giving birth to them is "get the fuck out of your scaredy shells and kiss the world".”

“the supposedly intelligent are often too quick to judgewhen really all that's needed is loveand understandingbut try not to judge them in return because they will often judge themselves even more harshlywhich is so sad in a world that's already so full of pain that hugsand forgiveness should be called forevery single day”

“Time is a pool to swim & dream & create in.”

“If all is Consciousness, experience its infinity, create your own journey through it, be amazed.”

“We attract what we're meant to because we're aware & self-empowered enough to choose most of the time. Other times we have lessons to learn”

“I constantly yearn to celebrate life & its infinite manifestations, to examine the details of everything including the human heart & mind.”

“Life wants you to be complete unto yourself, generally enjoy and expand consciousness, open, explore, love.”

“Life is a bit like a sweet & toy & art & curiosity shop - all in one - only the best bits are free. If you look at all the things you can cherish it helps to balance everything else. Cherish the fabulous, the fantastic, the beautiful, the graceful, the moments of abandon, laughter, quirkiness. Cherish the tiny incredible details, the gigantic & varied display, and the infinite depths - of life.”

“There is no excuse for being derogatory or dismissive about other's beliefs, paths, choices. Everyone is where they need to be at the right time to learn the right things for them and their personal journey through life.”
