Place of Reconcilliation

Young man,

There are things I must tell you in earnest. You will at some point in your life part ways with someone you care for a great deal. And at this point you do not know who this will be.

It might set you free if it were true, that you were the one who gave, and they who took. So make it then.

Words are Primitive, Images are Not

Imagine all the beauty in the world being described by such simple tools as written words. It will be  exceedingly difficult cousin,  to fill this vastness of  empty pages by  hand.  But we are spirit beings, and it's within us to do wonderful things,  because we can imagine them. Excel at this cousin, excel.

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.

Kofa Mountains

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.

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
