I am more interested in what I can create
than in what I can consume,
in what I can share
than in what I can own,
in living my own life
rather than viewing others on tv or the big screen.
I think for myself and choose my own heroes.
There comes a moment when you realize that virtually anything is possible - that nothing is too good to be true.
I'd like to meet:
I call people 'successful' not because they have money or their business is doing well but because, as human beings, they have a fully developed sense of being alive and are engaged in a lifetime task of collaboration with other human beings - their mothers and fathers, their family, their friends, their loved ones, the friends who are dying, the friends who are being born.
Success? Don't you know it is all about being able to extend love to people? Really. Not in a big, capital-letter sense but in the everyday. Little by little, task by task, gesture by gesture, word by word."*
Whether it's praise, love, criticism, money, time, space, power, punishment, sorrow, laughter, care, pain, or pleasure... the more you give, the more you will receive. *
Music:
Mozart to Ministry
Television:
"Hold on to what is good,
even if it's a handful of earth.Hold on to what you believe,
even if it's a tree that stands by itself.Hold on to what you must do,
even if it's a long way from here.Hold on to your life,
even if it's easier to let go.Hold on to my hand,
even if I've gone away from you."
Books:
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
Heroes:
All the Native American Chiefs and Warriors that fought for and defended this land when it was pristine. My great, great 'Grandmother Escape' that returned to, fought for and held onto our family land on the Navajo Nation so that her descendants will always have a place to come 'home' to, a place where our ancestors lived.
