We can make a difference when we draw on our courage and creativity to stand up for our beliefs. Our small actions carry a cumulative power that can shift the planet onto a more positive course. We only need to tap our innate creativity and connect with expression not only through a particular medium like paint or clay or words; the other medium we all have to express our creativity is our lives. As human beings, we’re innately creative, capable of great love, and creatures of community. When we draw on our natural gifts and act together, we have enormous power to ease suffering and invent new possibilities for a better world.

I post a lot of quotes here. I struggle sometimes to post long ones because too many words can confuse, distract and make a difference in how the reader understands what the author intended. The above quote is an example. What I was moved by in the quote was the fact that mankind is capable of great love, while knowing in my mind mankind is also capable of great hatred. But, I will keep my focus on hope and belief in great love! I hope you are having a great day!!!

I hope you are having a great day, too, Monte. The quote you chose is greatly appreciated and I believe nudges us a bit closer to better understanding the nature of and potential location of where consciousness might reside. Obviously our earlier conversation is still rattling around in my brain.

Thanks, Jeff, and it is still rattling around in my head too. I am having a good day. I am also watching two moving guys carryng stuff upstairs to the new condo in this heat and humidity. I am going to be exhausted by the time I go to bed tonight. 🤪

Maybe longer quotes take a bit more time to digest; like a full meal as opposed to a snack. But they can be well worth reading and taking some time to think about. Hey, don’t over do it on the watching, you’ll be sore tomorrow! 😂

I can easily pickup on one word and start spinning on that and miss the essence of the whole thing. But, that’s the gift of rereading them over time or talking with someone else on what they recieve from it.
