Faith
Not the commercial garbage but the real makoya. You know it, that feeling religions can’t peddle and thieves can’t supply. In truth, faith is unbelievable. It brings to light the inconceivable and empowers the inconsolable victim. Faith cannot be justified, measured or moved. It is that ever-resilient, always-growing force of energy. It is in thinking, doing, seeing and believing.
Faith is an inside job. Outside sources only serve to re-enforce.

Independence
We are so used to belonging that we’ve become attached to others. We have to be connected to someone all the time, whether it’s digital, plutonic or just outright make-believe. We can no longer be the majority of one. We seek acknowledgment, acceptance and confirmation from those we know and those we don’t know. Independence is that single voice that searches for no acknowledgment, requires no acceptance and finds no pride in confirmation. It is your own voice. Find it. Keep it.

Life Lessons
One of nature’s laws reveals a pattern of teaching rooted in a patience that borders on the obsessive. Mother Nature’s teachings are repeated and revealed in the most obvious places. That’s why there’s no ‘dummies handbook’ on life. Because any idiot can live, you just have to wing it most times anyhow. If we start by paying more attention to ourselves and the things around us, the patterns will be certain to jump out and bite.


Moments of Silence
In quiet we can have the most ridiculous conversations with our inside selves. Many times the electricity in my head tells the fire in my heart things that it doesn’t want the soul to know. So, give yourself a minute, an hour or a day… one of you might like it.

Reality
Every damn thing is so damn virtual all the damn time. We now have more virtual friends than real ones, not that we’re good to those ones either. Instead of talking behind their backs, we talk in exclusive group chats while they’re in the room. How mature. Reality, on the other hand, lies beyond cell phone reception and wi-fi.
