Wisdom is Meant to Be Shared

The state of one's soul is more important than outward appearance.

 Tanzanian proverb

Vladimir Kush

"Messages" by Xavier Rudd from Food in the Belly:

So come sit down

Will you talk with me now?

Let me see through your eyes

Where there is so much life

We are biding out time

For these myths to unwind

These changes we will confront

So please beware

With every place that you had

And look to your soul

For these things that you know

For the trees that we see

Cannot forever breathe

With the changes they will confront

You know some people

They just won’t understand

They just won’t understand these things

Thank you for your message

But I don’t understand

No, I just won’t understand these things

This sacred land it has

Seen many hands, it has

Wealth and gold yet it is

Fragile and old and all the

Greedy souls just don’t care to know

Of all the changes it will confront

So speak out loud of the

Things you are proud

And if you love this coast

Keep it clean as it evolves

Cos the way that it shines
May just dwindle with time

With the changes it will confront

You know some people

They just won’t understand

They just won’t understand these things

Thank you for your message

But I don’t understand

No I just won’t understand these things

So hold nice and close

The ones that get to your soul

So that when it is cold

You won’t feel so alone

Cos the roads that you take may just crack and break

With the changes you will confront

With each gift that you share may

You heal and repair

With each choice that you make

You may help someone’s day

Well I know you are strong

May your journey be long

Now I wish you the best of luck

Making a Difference: being a contribution as a path of surrender and awakening to the whole; giving over your life to being of service to the whole; no longer serving just your individual wants, desires and comforts.

where I drink; I farm the soil that yields my food;

I share creation; Kings can do no more."

"Talk" by Coldplay: 

Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done

So you don't know were you're going, and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all
Let's talk
