Interdependence is a fundamental law of nature. Even tiny insects survive by mutual cooperation based on innate recognition of their interconnectedness. It is because our own human existence is so dependent on the help of others that our need for love lies at the very foundation of our existence. Therefore we need a genuine sense of responsibility and a sincere concern for the welfare of others.
is anyone out there?
does anybody listen or care anymore?
we are living on a dying planet,
we’re killing everything that’s alive,
and anyone who tries to deny it
wears a tie
You should not be carried away by the dictation of the mind, but the mind should be carried by your dictation.
go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
when you fall everyone stands
another day and you’ve had your fill of sinking
with the life held in your
hands are shaking cold these hands are meant to hold

streets from the municipality of Mies, Switzerland ~ April 2016.
The rains of life’s blessings cannot gather on mountaintops of pride, but flow easily into valleys of humbleness.
i never meant to cause you any sorrow
i never meant to cause you any pain
i only wanted one time to see you laughing
i only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
purple rain purple rain
purple rain purple rain purple rain purple rain

Lisbon, walking random streets to train station ~ April 2016.
Build your inner environment. Practice silence. I remember the wonderful discipline of the Great Ones. When we used to talk and chatter, they would say: “Go back into your inner castle.” It was very hard to comprehend then, but now I understand the way of peace.
ave generosa mundi rosa
felix et sacra virgo maria
espiritus sanctus laudamos te(ave, ave gemma preciosa)
espiritus sanctus laudamos te(sub intimo cordis in custodia) cruxificie vulnerati ave mundi luminar
Making others happy, through kindness of speech and sincerity of right advice, is a sign of true greatness. To hurt another soul by sarcastic words, looks, or suggestions, is despicable..
came in from a rainy thursday
on the avenue
thought i heard you talking softly
but i won’t cry for yesterday
there’s an ordinary world
somehow i have to find
and as i try to make my way to the ordinary world
i will learn to survive
Truths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For perception, consciousness, lies not in vague ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization.
follow, follow the sun
and which way the wind blows
when this day is done.
breathe, breathe in the air.
set your intentions. dream with care.
Love gives joy. We love love because it gives us such intoxicating happiness. So love is not the ultimate; the ultimate is bliss.
i saw it coming like summer rain
incoming ocean, oncoming train
i veered in circles to get off your path
i tried to warn you
that this would be the kiss that counted
the one that mattered
my life before me undone this would be the kiss that counted
Do not think of yourself as the body, but as the joyous consciousness and immortal life behind it.
a school bell rings off the day
brings in a stray few girls at play
cut school, pink slips are fine
for a good time boys on their mind
a bad girl smoking in school
breaking the rules, acting real cool
talkin’ ’bout all the rock boys
backseat joys with some boy’s toy
You must know the difference between imagination, theoretical knowledge and true realization. Could you nourish yourself by only listening to a talk on food? To know food only theoretically is to always remain hungry. You must eat to satisfy hunger. So he who seeks new doctrines continuously but does not put them into practice in his life is in continual spiritual starvation.
