There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times to develop psychic muscles. — Muad'Dib
The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.
I stand in the sacred human presence. As I do now, so should you stand some day. I pray to your presence that this be so. Let the future remain uncertain for that is the canvas to receive our desires. Thus the human condition faces its perpetual tabula rasa. We possess no more than this moment where we dedicate ourselves continuously to the sacred presence we share and create.
