so excellent

please go & tell me how

magnificent it all is.

started

[to be cont.]

choose to

in madrid, stumbled upon this artwork of felix's.

life has unending sweetness. we can share it.

that's what felix did.

i know of no power greater than truth, no emotion greater than compassion,

no quality equal to generosity of spirit.

call truth what you will. find it in your heart, subject it to the knowledge of your gut.

don't hide, don't run, don't bury it. please.

have fun. taste the sweetness in life. turn towards it.

choose to believe that we are all in this as one.

Was der Mode Schwert geteilt;

Bettler werden Fürstenbrüder,

Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

friedrich schiller,

ode to joy

express, then this makes more

sense. At that point there is a

mystery we can at least talk

about, since for a lifetime I have

wanted to say the same thing..."
