I am not enlightened and I am not interested in becoming enlightened.
I am interested in being embodied and loving this Mama Gaia with all my heart.

There is something worse than death, worse than suffering… and that’s when you lose self-love. There is something that hurts, hurts and burns; and it is when a person or two injure that self-love without which we can no longer live a worthy life. Plain vanity, you say. Yeah, just plain vanity… and yet that dignity is the deepest content of human life..

It’s the husbanding, the maintenance, and the utilization of talent that changes things. The people who handle talent well are the ones who revolutionize our lives and our art.

Expect nothing. Live frugally
On surprise.
Become a stranger
To need of pity
Or, if compassion be freely
Given out
Take only enough
Stop short of urge to plead
