    “Courage can't see around corners, but goes around them anyway.”


    “All our dreams can come true...if we have the courage to pursue them.”

    “I believe that it may happen that one will succeed, and one must not begin to despair, even though defeated here and there; and even though one sometimes feels a kind of decay, though things go differently from the expected, it is necessary to take heart again and new courage. For the great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed. What is drawing? How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.”~Vincent van Gogh

    "Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself." - Milton Friedman
    sure, lets a have a free market in a democracy, an oxymoron considering. The people have a say insofar as the country is democratic, so this hands off approach amounts to an unregulated industry, which as we know leads to all sorts of terrible monoplolies and concentrations of power, none of which seem to care in the least for future generations.

    "If I had paid attention to what others were thinkin'
    the heart inside me would've died
    but I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
    someone had to reach for the risin' star, I guess it was up to me."

    Bob Dylan, Up to Me

    39.DO NOT FORGET to pay your respect to the four directions each day. This wonderful world of ours is a creation of the divine, and for that gift we need to be ever grateful. That gratitude should be expressed through some kind of prayer. True prayer has no set form. Just offer your heartfelt gratitude in a way you feel is appropriate, and you will be amply rewarded.

    "I'd like to say that people... people can change anything they want to; and that means everything in the world. Show me any country and there'll be people in it. And it's the people that make the country. People have got to stop pretending they're not on the world.

    People are running about following their own tracks. I am one of them. But we've all gotta stop... just stop following our own little mouse trails. People can do anything; this is something that I'm beginning to learn.

    People are out there doing bad things to each other; it's because they've been dehumanized. It's time to take humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time.

    Greed... it ain't going anywhere; the richest person in the world is the most unhappy one. They should have that on a big billboard in Times Square. Think on that.

    Without people you're nothing." - Joe Strummer

    The Magic of Childhood

    "The great thing about being a kid is you don't get humiliated if anyone sees you running around with a tree branch, while pretending it's a bazooka.

    The minute you hit 15, people start start giving you queer looks if you so much as make an explosion sound with your mouth, while simultaneously indicating the size of the explosion by slowly moving your arms apart."

    Come to you across the divide
    looking out a wrinkle in time
    there is nothing less I would do
    than to stand up for truth

    In the cold dark ways
    of this lonely place
    I will warm you, hold you

    *****A gold shield glistens
    and your breath quickens
    I stand close by over you

    *Two hands held strong and sure with
    the power of one
    reach out past the walls
    that can hold you

    **We are guardians and warriors
    come form somewhere to mind
    what creates you and shapes
    the Alchemy of Love

    ***There is a chain of light
    out across the endless skies
    and I see the energy that
    relfects me in your eyes
    and keeps us both alive
    and keeps us both alive

    Evening and the shadows will come
    to destroy what we have done
    but always will the power of love
    shine a light bright as the sun

    ****When the cold dark waves on
    the shores break
    I am around you, found you
    A gold sword fires and night expires
    a long night surrounding you
