I Want To Be Sixteen Again

Is it a crime to desire a life beyond my own?

Is it a crime to want to be anyone but me?

Tomorrow is another chance.

Jimmy Santiago Baca, from “I Am Offering This Poem”

The seed doesn’t have a flower within itself. It’s actually the home of a dormant life that can awaken and transform with the creative power of connection. Earth and sun are in a dance older than our time. See how they kiss each other in all the trees and flowers.

“I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.”

— Robin Williams

If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

Lao Tzu

“Don’t sit and wait. Get out there, feel life. Touch the sun, and immerse in the sea.”

— Rumi
