Keep watching!
For those of us who dream…pay attention to what sits inside yourself and watches you and is you…It may take time, but sit, smile, and watch.

Keep life!
With butterflies, we see dignity, see the idea to of transcendence, with life extending beyond its limits. With water we experience eternity, experience what life can be when lived endlessly. With forest we see dreams, see things aspire to their greatest potential all with beauty. I am learning these days that everything, every experience is…

Keep the common dreams of a dreamer!
In moments of stress, or moments of strife, through periods of chaos, or periods of change, when life becomes unpredictable, days and nights too, unpredictable, when the voices and the places that once nurtured you, turn on you, whether storms erupt or your strong purpose erodes, no matter whether your candle burns it self out…

Some of us love deep. Some of us hate deep too. Some keep their circles deep, some their words too. I’m thinking too deep, hence the head but this life will force you to realign what matters the most and sometimes it will require deep thinking that scatters your brain. Where you are going, so…

It maybe something different, unexpected, new and maybe even better. Most importantly, it maybe for the community. We cannot let the other into ourselves…

Keep all your failures!
Failure, don’t talk to me about failure or what I am capable of. When I wanted jewels for health, I wanted jewels for health. I trained girls, one school at a time, and took jewels to them to end the HIV epidemic and we failed without warning, without wining and without any wind blowing our…

Keep don’t worry!
If what you do imitates your mind, if it does that in service to your light, then destiny is yours, patience too, plus a deep, generous cycle of goodness, excellence too, all woven like knots tied around your neck and your hands, these images born out of your mind, all in service to the light…

Keep standing like Lillies!
Some days will be like Lillies, forcing you to stand tall and erect, even when you would rather bend. On those days, stand!
