An S.O.S.: Calling Upon All Angels

Joy Matters*

*Passion & Compassion*

Seek out, seek in...always seeking, always on a journey to bridge the world within with the world around.

Knowing that so many are hurting and alone when there is no need.

If we could just pause long enough to turn the tide.

We are a force of nature because we are nature.

Even when the oil runs dry, the sun will still fuel us. All the panic takes us further away from our natural state, our connection to the creative force, and to the brilliant power of simply being alive.

Enjoy the ocean if you can and work toward it.

I aim to use my time to add to the creative rather than destructive forces vying for the Earth's resources.

I have found over a million Earth angels on the same mission: to create sustainable beauty out of life.

Let this be a prelude and not the exception.

I honor the lights of this great city as a power point for change, as the center of art, and as a vine of near-ripe revolutionaries.

Artists, women, good people of the Earth rising: rise some more.

*Revolution begins with personal evolution...

Bless & Be Blessed*

Heath Ledger's death today is the perfect example of the empty promise. Let us throw the pills down the drain and wash clean...

I am in training. I held the mic and spoke during the closing remarks at the Freedom on Our Terms Convention, which honored and continues the work that began in Houston thirty years ago. On this day, and each day since, I have been so inspired that I let the words leak from my mouth. They are not my words and I lay no claim to them. They are universal ideas and dreams pouring through my lips. I promise to continue to sharpen and to share until my last breath...in love and with honor.

Peace is not only possible, it is necessary for the preservation of an Earth that can sustain life and the treasure chest therein.
