Constantly be an appreciator of life by feeling the all of your being.
Without “being,” we perceive not.
When all thought and action are reduced to caring for one another, there is no surplus. Only a Plus.

“A man need a three types of men in his life:

“… speaking of it in terms of a man’s Christian walk.
He needs mature Christian men to mentor him
He needs Christian brothers roughly the same age to walk with him through life.
He needs younger men to mentor.”

“And so the Quest goes on. And the Quest, as it may be, ends in attainment- we know not where and when; so long as we can conceive of our separate existence, the quest goes on- an attainment continued henceforward. And ever shall the study of the ways which have been followed by those who have passed in front be a help on our path.

“Culture is missing the Grand Power of Motivation towards the unknown-

that physical action of advancing towards fear,
pushing ourselves to our limits,
so we may therefore push ourselves beyond those limits
to create more advantageous precipices from which thereupon, we we may elevate our efforts; for we are rewarded with the strength, courage and some wisdom which allows us to experience the Great Power of Motivation which operates the Sun and the Moon.”
“I just think about happy things.”

“You cannot help anybody;
Carolina Zachariah
all you can do is
Be the Beam of Light.”
In other words, you cannot help people who do not realize they need help, or do not want help.
All we can do is be the example of what we want others to be.

“Just accept it as it is.”
Matt Kaufner
When an intellectual conversation dissolves into a self-loathing proclamation…
“The Answer,” they seek cannot materialize. Instead, the, “investigation,” becomes a self-exploration, describing the whole of humanity, fueled by pent-up emotion (which they want to share,) consequently being extinguished by the arrogant affect of being the observer attempting to objectively observe itself.
Chip Van Hassel
As a picture of a pencil cannot draw itself, the human attempting to reconcile with its own cognitive dissonance by way of cognition is the same as the ocean attempting to dry itself off by splashing around!
“You don’t have to understand it, the thing is you just need to start moving in a direction of the rest of the world and God will guide you in the direction you’re supposed to go.”

As it says in the Bible, in the book of MATTHEW:

“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces.”
“Let the Righteous Smite Me!”
PSALM 141:5
Doing nothing at a time when nothing can be done has never been my strongpoint. Being a man who cares about reforming culture to some moral rectitude of accountability has been an exhausting mental exercise of futility.
To say that society has lost its responsibilities is a gross understatement! Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington and James Madison all have one attribute in common. Let us call that characteristic, “Redemption”.
“Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and there is nothing hid from its heat.”
“… yet their voice goes out through all the earth,

“How can my lord’s servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.”
DANIEL 10:13-30
Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me.
And he said, “O man greatly beloved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.”
And when he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said,
“Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
“Do not be afraid; you will be safe. But praise God for ever.”

“If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
JOHN 5:31-32
There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true.”
Of a man who chooses not to see the light, neither all the books in the world may enlighten him; and for a man who sees the light, a single word is too much!

As we are surrounded by (and ruled by,) self-deceiving people, the only recompense is to constantly and instantly forgive them.
Be an example of the Great Light which shineth from above.

Justice is not neccissarily the ultimate result of the righteous and correct; justice is defined only by the ignorantly powerful minority.
“For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

1. Begin with a title page.
2. Explain your why with a summary.
3. State the problem, or need.

I saw this movie when I was 23 and thought, “Man, what a lunatic!”
I saw it at 33 and thought, “I mean, I guess he might have a point in there somewhere, but still – that’s insane.”
At 43, it became “Well, ok. I kind of get it, now. A bit extreme, but I get it.”
Today at 53? “I have no problem with anything this man is doing”

Burn relentlessly until your juice runs dry!
Cold water hardens wax
to form shape.
A shadow is cast,
from a candle’s light,
flickering in a fleeting moment.
Without a Candle,

Without darkness,

Dark as her sudden silence seemed,
and as remarkable as JFK’s birthday, song’s tease,
the wick of the candle is sometimes trimmed away.

But now that I know what it is, I definitely know I never had a use for it in the first place!
