"Whatever befalls the Earth - befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life - he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. Even the white man, whose God walks and talks with him as friend to friend, cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. We shall see. One thing we know, which the white man may one day discover - Our God is the same God. You may think now that you own Him ... but you cannot. He is the God of man, and His compassion is equal ... The Earth is precious to Him... The whites too shall pass, perhaps sooner than all other tribes. But in your perishing you will shine brightly, fired by the strength of the God who brought you to this land and for some special purpose..." -Chief Seattle Mother's bring to this world its greatest treasure... each child full of Love, newness, goodness, kindness, generosity, agelessness... perfection budding Smell the smells, and feel the sensations.

10 Ingredients for Work Independence - Creating and Sailing Away on a "Seaworthy Boat"
“...make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.” ― Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild Inspirations... "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." -Confucious “We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes a lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.” Jesse Owens “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain “Go confidently in the direction of our dreams! Live the life you've imagined.” Henry David Thoreau “Security is not the meaning of my life. Great opportunities are worth the risk.” Shirley Hufstedler “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. ” -Helen Keller “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.” -Christopher Reeve “Let the beauty that we love be what we do.” -Jalal ad-Din Rumi “The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart - this you will build your life by, and this you will become.” James Allen “Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.” Bruce Barton Introduction: Making Work Meaningful and Sustainable in the New Economy "What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe." -Paul He is Risen... "He was put to death in the body, but made alive in the Spirit." -Peter “When he ascended on high, he freed many captives and gave gifts to his people." -Psalm of David "...if the Son sets you free, you will be absolutely free." -John Palm Sunday reflection... the choice is always passion of vision over what is popular.
