Our Human Lives are a Collective Movement

‘We are all connected - everywhere, everyone, everything, and how we are meant to be helping each other progress through our human existences. Our human lives are a collective movement, not an individual achievement.’ — Johnathan S.

‘It all turns out, you know,’ I said to my little self. ‘We are only here to learn. All that exists is wisdom… The things we experience here and the truths we take to heart from those experiences are all that really matter. They are the wisdom we get to keep.’ — Jeff Olsen

Offerings

Luke 6:27-38 is just another way of speaking Karma.

Your offerings, whatever your intentions, will always in some way come home to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.

In a world where you can be anything, be compassionate.

Art is both love and friendship, and understanding; the desire to give. It is not charity, which is the giving of things, it is more than kindness which is the giving of self. It is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is the recreation on another plane of the realities of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the inter-relations of these.

— Ansel Adams, June 10, 1937
