MY PHILOSOPHIES

• In the great big (biggest) picture:

  • I don’t believe that humans have the slightest understanding of what our existence is all about.
  • I doubt that we are really alive.

• In the NOW

  • I cannot deny the present.  Real or not, we are in it.
  • I believe that we have the responsibility to honor the present with positivity, good intentions, honesty, and with all of the good things that can be considered.
  • I believe that we have the responsibility to not mar the Present with negativity in any form.
