“Sickness and in health:”
“Sickness and in health:” in those days sickness left in a few days or weeks. We had no inkling that sickness could be the balance of someone’s life.

Is this accurate?
Is this accurate? Prior to 9-11 there was a spiritual awakening in the East, particularly in the militant reactionary parts of Islam. What they caused was a spiritual awakening in the West, short-lived as it was, then turned smaller and tighter to fundamentalist and extremist movements.

The right thing to do
The right thing to do
In any circumstance
Is your essence
Your mother said
“Be yourself”
Still good advice
Still hard to do
Still hard to figure out

The way the world hears
The way the world hears
and is heard
you speak for the whole

As you go through the world

Let’s infiltrate
Let’s infiltrate. Let’s take the human fibres that still exist in corporations and activate them.
The object of everything is not profit: only life. Shareholders want to live. They invest money to live. They give to others. They want others to live. The large corporations do not serve the shareholders, they only serve their own sense of pride in growth and numbers. The secretary of the corporation votes the largest block of shares, solicited by the management. Those shareholders do not care how the corporation does, nor what, as long as they are helped to live. The work of the business is ultimately to help people live. Even if the business is capital goods for other businesses seven times removed from human beings.
So let’s get our league of infiltrators to meet, to engage, to bring human and life centric thinking to the fore. Let’s be real.
Let us dare to speak this truth to one another. Maybe eventually we will dare to speak this truth to those in power: Remember you are alive. Remember life. Memento vitae.

still dance with the wind
No matter
how busy you are
how life knocks you about
the leaves in the trees
still dance with the wind
and you can go there
and you can be home

A x B
A x B
A is the number of hours I do for you
B is the multiplier: pointing out resourcefulness you had forgotten; knowing the Medicaid and VA law; bringing in other good folks to help out
x is the hinge, the crux: the heart that puts it all in right motion
