Thoughts, Interests and Activities:
Be grateful for and celebrate the beauty in all things because beauty is everywhere; ignore all limitations and boundaries wherever they are found because they are illusion.
I am a husband, father, minimalist philosopher, author, musician and grateful celebrator of the natural beauty, happiness, love, power and Godliness within all things.
In simpler terms, I believe that we should passionately desire and celebrate what we've already got and who we already are rather than focusing so much on getting what we want or becoming who we want.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do that by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Contribution #7027
All the world’s major religions, with their emphasis on love, compassion, patience, tolerance, and forgiveness can and do promote inner values. But the reality of the world today is that grounding ethics in religion is no longer adequate. This is why I am increasingly convinced that the time has come to find a way of thinking about spirituality and ethics beyond religion altogether.

No source entered for Contribution #6928There is an endless net of threads throughout the universe. The horizontal threads are in space. The vertical threads are in time. At every crossing of the threads, there is an individual, and every individual is a crystal bead. And every crystal bead reflects not only the light from every other crystal in the net, but also every other reflection throughout the entire universe.
