Hidden Symbols

One must be careful of metaphors when it comes to morality, or our understanding of life in general.

Careful Meaning

There are a lot of ways one could look at life … some probably wiser than others, some perhaps more practical or more problematic than others … but to find your way down to that root of our humanity and that great meaning of which we sense, but can so seldom put adequate words to,…

The Greatest Discovery

I guess it could be said that I have always been an explorer at heart … yet at the same time I have never been particularly interested in traveling anywhere.

Mind and Heart

If but we could see through the eyes of the Earth, what an incredible portrait we could paint … for the Earth sees all equally in life, and doesn’t discern it as we do. It doesn’t neglect the consciousness of any being, and it recognizes life in everything … for indeed life is in everything, …
