our greatest gift is Life itself,
go be in Life,
go out there,
see yourself in the sky,
hear yourself in the wind,
feel yourself in the Earth.
this is your greatest gift.
give it,
be it,
rest there.

Moab, Utah

there is always the sky
and when I walk under her
she invites me to soar.
there is always the sea
and when I lay with her
she rebirths me.
there is always the shore
and when I stand upon her
she gives me her ground.

us vs them.
good vs evil.
life vs death.
this kind of thinking comes from the core belief that we are separate.
there is no them.
there is no evil.
there is no death.

“Driving down Interstate 35 we were talking about how fast our lives were passing by, you started sharing your favorite memory, about when you were a little girl, 6 or 7 years old, you were sitting in your grandmother’s lap, on her front porch, she was singing to you while she braided your hair, you said she was wearing her favorite blue gingham dress and that she always smelled like Ivory soap and that you remembered the sound of the porch boards creaking under her rocking chair.”

An excerpt from “Love Takes Over”
a book by Scott Lockhart

The Earth is 4.5 Billion years old. Lighten up, everything here of man and beast is impermanent.

Enjoy the ride, it doesn’t last that long.
