"We really on borrowed time. Choose people that choose you, and let everyone else be."

Life is a precious and fleeting gift, a journey on borrowed time that reminds us to cherish what truly matters. In this limited span, our energy and love are the most valuable treasures we hold.

WHAT AM I ?            cried the raindrop

as it splashed into the muddy pond

The pond flowed into a creek

Asking            What am I ?

Twisting and turning the creek became a river

Wondering What am I ?

Quietly              under a golden moon

the river met the…

"Sometimes people can't see what is wrong in their actions because they are surrounded by those who made it feel normal." (Toby Mac)

It's a powerful and often sobering truth that our perception of right and wrong is deeply shaped by our environment.

Sometimes, people are unable to see the flaws in their actions…

"You'll end up disappointed if you think people will do for you as you do for them. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same heart as you."

It's a lesson many of us learn through quiet heartache: the inherent disappointment that can arise when we expect others to reciprocate our efforts, our kindness, or our loyalty in equal…

in a world traumatized by greed and violence, be an anomaly. Practice nonviolent noncooperation with corruption, crime and evil. Choose life and the Earth. Even the smallest choice is a choice.

Offering of Greetings

"On my walking path, I often see elderly grandmothers and grandfathers walking alone.

I was not born once.

I unfold.

From something

that has no beginning.

The stars do not remember me.

They are me.

Their rhythm lives beneath my skin.

My breath is older than my name.

The Earth turns.

Not just to spin,

but to listen.

The sea listens.

To the moon’s quiet longing.

To the deep pull of memory

that isn’t memory at…

In this striking painting by the renowned artist Shefqet Avdush Emini, we are no longer facing a portrait, but standing before an icon of universal pain, of the disfiguration of the human being, and of the dissolution of identity in the face of the merciless realities of our time.

"The quality of people around you matters more than the number of people!"

The true measure of a fulfilling life isn't found in the sheer quantity of relationships, but in the quality of connections we cultivate. Surrounding yourself with individuals who hold you to a higher standard than you hold yourself is an act of…
