Wonderful Miracle of Life
"O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
You understand my thought from afar.
You scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, You know it all.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”
Even the darkness is not dark to You,
And the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to You.
For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!"
- - Ps 139:1-17

Life Begins When You Do
Walk to the edge.
Listen hard. Laugh. Play with abandon.
Practice wellness.
Continue to learn.
Choose with no regret.
Appreciate your friends.
Lead or follow a leader.
Do what you love.
Live as if this is all there is.
Your purpose, that thing that among the many to-dos of your days, is what you must do. Embrace the truth of your purpose each minute of your precious life...for how very true it is that life begins when you do.
If you would dream it
BEGIN it.
If you have an idea
OPEN it.
If there is longing
ACKNOWLEDGE it.
If there is mission
COMMIT it.
If there is daring
DO it.
If there is love
SPEAK it.
If there is resource
USE it.
If there is abundance
SHARE it.

Be Wiser and Trust
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
- Ernest Hemingway
It is often difficult to tell the difference between right and wrong. Most judgments are complicated, and as reasoning beings, we have the ability to build a case in support of anything we want. No collection of facts or logical arguments will ever really prove if something is right or wrong.
Don’t try and push your mind for an answer it doesn’t have. Rely on your intuition. How does something make you feel? Our subconscious mind processes much more than our conscious mind, but instead of producing logical thoughts, it creates emotions. Learn to trust these emotions and they’ll prove you to be wiser than you believe.

“It is easy to love the people far away.
It is not always easy to love those close to us.
It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger
than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home.
Bring love into your home for this is where
our love for each other must start.”
