Henry Rollins - Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is using celestial colors to paint your image. Someone is making you into a vision so beautiful that it can only live in the mind. Someone is thinking of the way your breath escapes your lips when you are touched. How your eyes close & your jaw tightens with concentration as you give pleasure a home. These thoughts are saving a life somewhere right now. In some airless apartment on a dark, urine stained, whore lined street, someone is calling out to you silently & you are answering without even being there. So crystalline. So pure. Such life saving power when you smile. You will never know how you have cauterized my wounds. So sad that we will never touch. How it hurts me to know that I will never be able to give you everything I have.

Freedom is an expensive gift always worth fighting for. Even if it costs us - Marck E. Estemil
Education means emancipation. It means light & liberty. It means the uplifting of the soul of man into the glorious light of truth, the light by which men can only be made free.- Frederick Douglass
Self-absorption in all its forms kills empathy, let alone compassion. When we focus on ourselves, our world contracts as our problems & preoccupations loom large. But when we focus on others, our world expands. Our own problems drift to the periphery of the mind & so seem smaller, & we increase our capacity for connection - or compassionate action - Daniel Goleman
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light‐years & in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, & subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation & humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. The notion that science & spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both - Carl Sagan
Man can be master of nothing while he fears death, but he who does not fear it possesses all. If there were no suffering, man would not know his limitations, would not know himself. The hardest thing is to be able in your soul to unite the meaning of all. To unite all? - Leo Tolstoy
The more you reveal, the more you have to question & the freer you get. Until, finally, you're absolutely exposed. And that leaves you in a fearless position, because you can work in the world without the fear of being found out. That is freedom - Byron Katie

Too many of us are not living our dreams, because we are living our fears. Decide to become fearless. Face the thing you fear the most. You're stronger than you give yourself credit for.
