Silence

Silence is powerful. Some things you must be silent to hear. You don't want to miss them.

I took this photo two days ago, full of awe. I was listening to Sufjan's ode to this very place and I can say now he did a very good job of capturing the body of this locale.

Famous

Meeting famous people is funnish. Intelligent famous people are even better to meet.

Caffeine

Thank you good God for caffeine. It is great. Can I have some more?

Proximity

Isn't it interesting how we can be so close to someone yet really be so far away?

Infinite

Nothing is happenstance, nothing is random chance.

History is going somewhere.

All things - for the good of those who love love.

Newness is brought to us.

And the possibilities are infinite.

Turn

When you experience a life outside your own, an indwelling of something greater than what you once assumed was reality, you go away altered.

You no longer have

fear

contempt

anguish

loathing

the list goes on.....

You replace all such things with this,

Kingdom of Love.

You have one life.

Yet, your life is not your own, you know you have been bought with a price.

Therefore, you must value it ever more so because it's not yours.

Make every moment worthy.

Invest. Save.

Not in yourself...

in something greater.

The vault is open.








whoever wants to save his life will lose it

but whoever loses his life for me will find it.

Anything to Change

Don't take a gamble.

Don't leave anything to chance, if you can help it.

You are a character, the character, in your story.

You will write a good story, if you chose to.

The choice is frightening, the control - intimidating.

But you know, you will have to read it when you are done, and others will read it. Make it a good one.

Everything is pulling for you to write something worthwhile. The world is a stage. Think of the one who you want to entertain, and do it. Compel.

Good Company

Good company, there is no substitute for it.

No matter what one does, the experience is more redeeming with good company.

Prudence can be choosing ones friends wisely, letting the right ones in and keeping the right ones out.

Some people are poison, they are self absorbed and receive without any notion of returning.

Yet, you will find on your journey, you will be blessed with, those who value you above themselves- and in that you will feel like you are at home.
