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.

"When the sun rises, I go to work; when the sun
goes down, I take my rest; I dig the well from
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
