It seems a bit much, but I've put my heart into all these endeavors thus far. I still feel like there is so much to do, see and become. I enjoy my alone time as it is not lonely, I enjoy my friendship time as it is revealing, I live for human interaction, it is spontaneous, I value hopefulness, it helps to keep the worlds suffering in perspective. I encourage compassion, and action. I try to drive peacefully, I try to forgive, I don't tolerate hate or war mongering. I speak out against bigotry and rascist humanity. I have a hard time comprehending how humans can be so cruel to one another. I ask that we each live more fully and don't accept greed as good. Give of yourself and Give some more. Reach out to people struggling, give them a hand...encourage people to rise up and become one of the living. Give a hand to those in need.David Johansson
