grateful opportunity creative
Engaging in new creative projects keeps me energized. I feel deeply grateful for all of the opportunities that life has given me.

You set up your place in my thoughts, moved in and made my thinking crowded.

You have to laugh at yourself, because you'd cry your eyes out if you didn't.
telling-the-truth being-true
Always tell the truth and be true.
spiritual yoga challenges
Now I know why yoga is so life-giving for so many. I have never experienced a practice that combines such physical challenge and spiritual wellbeing in my life.

So we must love, while these moments are still called today, take part in the pain of this passion play, stretching our youth as we must, until we are ashes to dust, until time makes history of us.

The sweetest part is acting after making a decision.

No way construction of this tricky plan was built by other than a greater hand.

We must love while these moments are still called today.
hate gay issues
The truth that people are missing about certain things, you know when they get fearful and they get hateful, and they repress other peoples, is the greatest truth of all, you know, the truth of love and understanding and clarity about all those issues. And it's like, one day, one day, everybody's gonna know, myself included, over certain things. But, so it's like, it's alright, you know, you hate me now, but that's cool, because I see a better day and I know that there's a higher truth, and you're wrong about hating me because I'm gay.
writing
If life ever stops inspiring us to write, it's time to stop doing what we do.
song spring heart
You will taste a way of life profoundly nourishing and from your tongue may spring a song or poem or sentence or word or maybe nothing but silence. Silence only the heart can turn to song.
