Love is the Force that moves men to Greatness
for without Love, we would strive for Nothing

I write to Breathe, to Live, to Experience.. to Grow. I write to Let Go. I write to Awake in my own Being. Keep Awake my Eyes. Keep Aware my Senses. Awake to always be Mindful of Moments. To never stop stripping the skin of a Sense of Being that is not true. To never stop walking even where the Road has long since stopped. To fold known things that has outrun their purposes, for something unknown to enhance further.
To Transcend and reach beyond limitations..
I Believe.
I Breathe.
I Love.
I See.
I Think.
I Am.
S eems easy doesn't it? It may seem easy to just list words to wish them summing up the contents of Beings, Moments; and People. It may seem easy to wish a world that simple. Nevertheless, it takes courage to hope a world better, strength to think it better, and Love to see it unfold better when the next person is blind to it, or feel helpless before it.
O ne. I am a One. I am a One amongst many One's. See, this short list does sum me up, but only if you're open enough to see the depth of the almost seductive rivers flowing around each contours of the concepts behind the letters. They seduce me to reflect myself and life, and help me grow beyond my own frame. To Imagine a being in each breath, and see possibilities around each corner; to feel love. LOVE. To feel love in each touch, be that friend or stranger, and be faced with realization in very thought.
U nderstanding this about myself has demanded an experience OF myself that I never thought I had to live through. And this is where I ended up. Yes. I do Believe in what I Think. And I Think up what I See. I See and Live what I Breathe. And I ultimately Love it. Me. Life. You. People. Moments.
If I wish up a simpler 'me' only to explain? See, it may be that simple, but complex in its simplicity; or simple in its complexity - whatever speaks clearer to you. If I do, or not, why don't you find out?
I am right Here.
L oving, caring, listening; witnessing
