“No old road leads to new destinations! Change begins when one realizes that it is unwise to pour a new wine into an old wine skin. If you change your mind, you have to change your actions too!” ― Israelmore Ayivor

“I feel I change my mind all the time. And I sort of feel that's your responsibility as a person, as a human being – to constantly be updating your positions on as many things as possible. And if you don't contradict yourself on a regular basis, then you're not thinking.” ― Malcolm Gladwell

Love the moment and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries.--Corita Kent

Belonging ...
 

In the absence of love and belonging is shame. --Brene Brown

Badlands
 

Badlands
--------------
he drove a caravan of hearts
"this is the last stop", he said.

but it chases me to sleep
and still wraps its arms
around the highway north

turn the caution light down flat
and take me to places
where I
float in your river of
willow trees
where your branches are still
timbered doors
that I can't break down

I am no lumberjack
but, I know there is a
city wet with light
kerosene dripping heartbeats
two steps from the sun

but, I live for this
addiction and the
rush of street lights
pounding above my head, you
do that to me
that spiraling light
past the city limits
but we're still so far away
a mountain of
phosphorescent years --

You forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.--Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Roses are red
Nuts are brown
Skirts go up, pants go down
Body to body, skin to skin
It goes in dry and comes out wet and
The longer it's in the stronger it gets.
It comes out dripping and it starts to sag
It's not what your thinking
It's a LIPTON tea bag!!!!!

“Seven Deadly Sins

Wealth without work
Pleasure without conscience
Science without humanity
Knowledge without character
Politics without principle
Commerce without morality
Worship without sacrifice.”

― Mahatma Gandhi

“You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won't mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever.... connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.” ― C. JoyBell C.

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.--Soren Kierkegaard

“There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.” ― Mandy Hale

“The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught. To learn entails that the knowledge was achieved on one's own accord - it feels great - but to be taught often leaves a feeling of inferiority. Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.” ― Criss Jami

“Our job on earth isn't to criticize, reject, or judge. Our purpose is to offer a helping hand, compassion, and mercy. We are to do unto others as we hope they would do unto us.” ― Dana Arcuri
