To Say Or Not To Say

I spend every day thinking about, then writing and refining a short passage that I hope is of value. At its best it reaches you, however as with anything I say, at times I am less successful.

With another, there is no greater threat to honesty than not saying, and yet I ponder on whether it is always better to say, or speak only when there is something worth saying.

I say in the quiet of my mind then set it on the page so it might by chance meet yours one day.

Those Things We Hide

I have deeply held convictions about love, about our actions, and about art. I view anything I publish: every word, every pixel, every sound, as some small proof of those things I hold dear. I try, but often fail to be as careful, as thoughtful in my everyday, as when leaving these modest grains of self online.

When in the company of others I mask my intense nature much of the time. Perhaps we long for those most we trust will love those things we often hide.

Progress

I have viewed the advancement of technology as progress, when in truth it is often aligned more to power and convenience than for the greater good. When we view peace as the foundation of our progress, when our tools are used to ensure food and water, shelter and dignity, when we care for our world, only then can we consider ourselves as making progress. But what can I, one single person do?

We are all one. We are alone. When we love, something we can choose at any time, the rest will follow.
