CURRENTS

Beginnings

Currents

It's all from the same source.

I will work to be a force for good.

Life is to give away freely.

Acts of kindness are Karma in action.

Love is the most potent force in the Universe.

Doing what we love keeps us young.

Making love makes us younger.

Making music makes us more beautiful.

There can be no happiness without freedom.

Happiness cannot be achieved by avoiding suffering.

Death is a part of the cycle of life.

We are immortal in our works and our deeds.

Our words can heal or hurt.

Words are powerful things.

Some belief systems can kill.

Wrong ideas can cause illness and death.

Good thoughts and actions can cure disease.

Without love, healing cannot occur.

With love, life is a continuous stream of miracles.

Music has the power to heal.

Freedom is worth dying for.

Peace can only be won through wisdom.

Wisdom can only be achieved through experience.

Experience cannot be gained without suffering.

All life is sacred.

Not all good battles should be fought.

Not all truths should be told.

Not all myths should be dispelled.

Not all magic should be understood.

Not all mysteries should be explained.

We are made of starstuff.

We are intergalactic beings.

We are not alone in the Universe.

We are not superior to nature.

We should not conquer nature.

We are part of nature.

The earth is a living organism.

The earth is our native home.

We need to love and honor the earth.

We need to revere our older people.

We need to nurture and protect our young people.

We need to love and protect our planet.

We need to love and honor and cherish each other.

We need to accept and celebrate each other.

This can end at any second.

Do not waste any more of these seconds.
