:::“TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.” ::: Howard Zinn :::

..such an eerie, mystical, magical, ethereal, almost anxious energy today... the full moon is almost ripe and beginning to rise, there's 80 degree weather in California, warm nights, chemtrails for dayyss, blazing wild land fires, and a purple and pink sprawling sunset.

the paradox of this destruction and beauty is undeniably present and extremely telling of the times to come.... we are changing, shifting, dying, rebirthing and creating our lives anew.

i'm just trying to be aware, and continually Grateful. humbly, simply, compassionately, divinely, passionately involved and grateful in my life in every way, everyday.

we are the ones we have been waiting for <3 comment-3--="" nbsp="">


ps... I'm back :)
