Who is? the Wisest Man Alive

I live deeply. It is who I am. I make no apologies, and my hope is you make no apologies for how you live and the choices you make. We live and we learn through all of life experiences. We embrace and then we let go. I have character built by change, opposition, conditional love (painful), and beautiful unconditional love.

I love this model concerning change by Kubler-Ross:

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us...we go through the "change curve" and become renewed as individuals, richer in life and soul.

I have no doubt, no question in my mind that each of us.... each of us is the captain of our own ship. We choose. We choose how we perceive, interpret and use the experiences in life to grow, to become better, or....become worse--victimized by life situations and tragedies.

We are never standing still. We are as spiritual/human beings taking in all that life offers, all that life requires, all that life gives...and all that life takes...

I am grateful for my challenges. I am grateful for the humility that life serves on a silver platter, for as Socrates says:

I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.

Socrates

I will never forget the time I was with a dear friend in a book store, my desire was that i could read every book, searching, understanding, accepting and loving every individual for their words, their perspective, their understanding of life, through their eyes and what they shared...writers have desire to be understood...and I suppose...don't we all?  

Another profound Socrates quote:

True wisdom comes to each of us

when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.

Socrates

Wisdom: EQUALS-- discernment, understanding, enlightenment,...and it is ever evolving, moving, growing and challenging us to know, WHO we are, WHY we are here, and WHAT we are doing to improve ourselves and the lives of others...

If I could touch one lonely soul

I'd like to tell you what I saw,
The sleeping dreams of four-years-old:
I stood upon the stage so tall, Sea of people floating down below
And farther than my eyes could see,  
These outstretched hearts were turned toward me  
Well from the center of my beam,
The purest love was flowing freely
If I could touch one lonely soul,  
If I could heal and be so bold  
To be a spark, to be a light,
Set one heart on fire;  
That's all I ever wanted That's all I want, That's all I ever really wanted... That's all I ever wanted

If it's wrong for me to want to change the world with what I got  
Let me make my own mistakes,  

That's a chance I'm gonna take If I'm right, 
I saw you all,  
In my dreams so long ago
And if you're broken, you should know,
I'm here, you're not alone
If I could touch one lonely soul,
If I could heal and be so bold  
To be a spark, to be a light,  
Set one heart on fire;  
That's all I ever wanted That's all I want, That's all I ever really wanted... That's all I ever wanted

Star light, star bright, 
I'm gonna make it right Star light, star bright, 
I'll be their star tonight Star light, star bright, yes I may, yes I might
Alright, alright, I'm gonna make it right
If I could touch one lonely soul,
If I could heal and be so bold  
To be a spot, to be a light,
Set one heart on fire;
That's all I ever wanted That's all I want, That's all I ever really wanted... That's all I ever wanted
