to separate and destroy families and friends,
and mar the purest joys and happiness

instead of love for our neighbors,
and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world!

You are perfect. You are complete.
Your inner voice always knows what to do,
but it is a quiet voice.

and the fear-based advice
your neighbors are so willing to give you.

to choose one's own way.

From the way most people live,
one would never guess that humans are beings of free will.
Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn't.
The athlete or pianist who practices the same routine
day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal.
The unending repetition is a conscious choice
in the pursuit of a life dream.
But what about the sameness of most lives?
Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink,
the Sunday football game or religious service -
how many of those people are consciously following their dream,
training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition?
And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day
out of habit and boredom?
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
