Habitat doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful. Your contribution can be as simple as providing opportunity, connection, and joy. We are observers of the beauty and joy of nature. We are nature.

Kindness is the way forward
I'm sending you all love from the center of my being, my heart and soul. May your lives be uplifted and troubles be laid down. May your worries be lost and your hopes and dreams be found. :)

As a society we need to resist letting love, passion, purpose, and progress be turned into greed. We need to turn love, passion, purpose, and progress into shared abundance.

Kindness is cheap, it creates opportunity, it builds communities

Cruelty is expensive, it stifles opportunities, it destroys communities

Kindness beats cruelty both economically, and socially

Vote for and promote kindness every opportunity you get

Kindness will always win in the end

Kindness builds wealth and connection.

Fear destroys societies and love builds societies.

Love is brave. Love is who you are.

Humanities biggest weakness is we let prejudice get in the way of progress, wealth, and abundance.

Light does not fear darkness.

Light destroys the darkness.

Light is truth.

Light is joy.

Light is hope.

Light is love.

The more our society embraces light the more we are all able to thrive.

Please read my reflection on the Second Tower Principle.
US democracy and the international rules based order is disintegrating..
Like folks in the second tower, some see the danger and refuse to sit still.
Others assure us life will go back to normal.

Love is bold, it out lives suffering, it creates community, hope and opportunity, it is light.

Fear is timid, it divides, it isolates, it is lonely, it protects itself from the world, it hides in the darkness.

Love is the light that drives out the fear, the darkness.

Be the light.

Endless growth is cancer.

This is the new metric for economic success. We need to learn how to make our economies thrive without endless growth and in balance with human and environmental needs.

This shift has already begun.

Capital doesn’t create wealth

People do

When it’s hard to find hope, it’s easy to find fear.

When faced with fear cultivate gratitude, be creative, look for solutions, build relationships.

Hope is a network that underlies everything, find it and share it and the network will grow.

Governments who understand that people are the economy and build social and physical infrastructure that supports that fact will thrive.

There has never been so much unrealized human potential.

Fascist governments can’t function without people working in it. Don’t give them your labour at any price. Starve them. Erode their power to nothing.

Then build something that works for you.
