There isn't anything false about hope...

"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are better left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was as if some beautiful bird had flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free." - Red

Emma and I journeyed into town wednesday evening past.
B was already there.
Standing, watching and waiting.

We stood with her, we worked with her, we laughed with her and we remembered her.

'B - May your heart be speechless
At the sight of the truth
Of all your belief had hoped,
Your heart breathless
In the light and lightness
Where each and every thing
Is at last its true self
Within that serene belonging
That dwells beside us
On the other side
Of what we see.'
(John O'Donohue)

"Seek the shalom of the city
where I have sent you ...and pray to the Lord on its behalf;
for in its shalom
you will find your own shalom."

to seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond image...

No one on this planet is truly experienced to handle the obstacles we face today...
terror
fear
lies
agendas
politics
money.

The outcome of the prostitution law has saddened me...on how unfair, backwards, upside down, unbalanced, untruthful, corrupt, and just simply, how wrong "politics" can be...

i find myself torn...because this time it’s not that simple...our choices aren’t as clear ...it isn't so obvious...

we think we are free...but in reality fear controls our decisions...

today I feel inspired to want to change myself to better the world...
change myself
change my greed
change my fears...

Im searching after
desire
strength
courage
ability
passion to change
