The Heart

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:  who can know it ?     Jeremiah 17:9 King James Version

Jeremiah was considered by many who preached his writings " The pessimistic Prophet ". He said so many things that no one wanted to hear... But cousin_ it would do you good as you think_ before you speak_ definitely before you write, to understand this perfectly.

Young man,

It is a great gift, this admiration of things good and beautiful. An invisible and silent fortress, it will sustain you when you lose your way / faith in lesser things. Be worthy of it.

Men argue what they believe, hold themselves in high regard when they know little. Some proclaim their faith to be the only. Fools are proud..

while quietly, an indisputable beauty and mystery of old, worthy of praise _ over rules what men might ever think.

I've climbed to a high place now, where from, as far as I can see everything is overwhelmingly Grand. And equally  mysterious cousin, are all theses things working in unison,  each one in it's place as if order over rules.

These are the riches. This is the paradise we are made to see and this is the time.

This is the Religion

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Psalm 139;23 NIV 1984

You don't need all that fancy stuff cousin. Simple is better, less is more. Be mindful of what is real. What you  earn is heavy. But what you learn is lite. Knowledge is speed.

Saguaro Petroglyphs

The people lived here. We grew corn, beans, and squash. We hunted bighorn sheep, antelope, desert mule deer, and turkey. We migrated with the seasons and raised our children in this manner. We have adhered to the inherent laws of this humble universe, and thus have preserved this land for you. Do not throw it away brother. That's what the rocks say.

Keep What's Good

Change is all around you man. Be honest in it.

Every now and then, the 5 seconds of magic reappears, in another place, when you don't expect, in another shape, in the midst of suffering, it drops you a visit, and speaks like a whispering thunder...  '' I am the magic " it says, " _ I will return ".

Freedom is Vast

 

You might have money, you might have authority, but if you don't have freedom, you got nothing. There is nothing else.      George Parks Highway, Alaska

You only get what you give. You loose what you take. You are the spirit that lives in the painting that you paint, with your life

Be not restricted

Young Man,

Things done with the best of intentions will get you nailed to a tree. Rules you live by will crumble. People you believe in so faithfully will break your heart. What you thought to be ultimate truths, will be so greatly changed.

Institutions, Religion, lines and boundaries,  autopilot, dictators, professions, are only grouped information files not necessarily correct. Do not let them stereotype you. These are of limited vision, parts incomplete in a time ever changing.

They are made to be processed by well informed free minded individuals who fly by the seat of their pants.

Dead Horse Point, Colorado River, Utah

I planned to watch the sunrise on this morning, and arrived at the overlook in the pitch black. Witnessing this vista emerge out of the dark of night is pretty mysterious ...

No mater how well you are prepared in life, what is most important, is that you show up with all your abilities. Then anything is possible.
