Equality...

The need to feel better then anyone or anything else, comes from a false fear that you could somehow be less then anyone or anything else... it's not possible. We're all made from the same damn stuff so let us move on with more important matters.

Standing in Awe...

I'm not sure that life notices my presence. I see an animal, touch the leaves of a tree, gaze at the stars... and it seems to smile but continue in the same fashion of always changing and always staying the same. Forever in motion and forever at rest. The eternal now. I'm not sure that it notices me anymore then it notices itself. There is a genuine unself-consciousness to real living in the deepest sense of the word. It just is. For that reason I'm not sure that life is particularly amazed by me, and that makes me chuckle, and feel giddy...it feels good to be able to disappear, to be invisible and for awhile become a small fragment of the universe. Life may not be amazed by me, but I'm amazed by it, and that's more then enough for me.
