SELECTIONS
from this book
Glory Rising
Looking back at the end,
you’ll feel the glory,
in the character you cultivated,
the contribution you created
and the ripple of the wake
of the way you walked
through this world.
The honor, the dignity
and the true triumph lives,
not in never failing,
but in how you
continued rising
after the times you fell.
Character Emanation
You reveal
the character
you’ve cultivated
by demonstrating:
your resilience
when you have little,
your gratitude
when you have a lot,
and your kindness
toward others
when you don’t need
anything from them.
Whispers From the Future
Like whispers from the future
calling your forward and deeper,
with vague visions of possibility
and soft Soul-stirring inner voices, your future self invites you to expand and Awaken into your greater potential.
Evolutionary Cultivation
Throughout human history
most were just trying to survive,
others sought safety and comfort,
accumulation for themselves
or self-esteem and status.
An extraordinary few
have dedicated their lives
to the cultivation of virtue
and the embodiment
of greater potential
wearing grooves of possibility
for future humans to come
and the evolutionary betterment
of life on this planet.
Honoring the Past, Illuminating the Future
This collection of inspired writings is a heartfelt tribute to the visionaries of the past and an inspiring call to the new stewards of the future, encouraging readers to step into their own roles in the ongoing evolution of humanity.
