We Are Creators
WE ARE CREATORS.
We create every day, with every choice we make.
The world needs more of our bold and loving choices. Our communities need them. Our families and relationships need them. Our own hearts need them.
May our choices bless the whole of our lives—rooted in thoughtfulness, meditation, prayerfulness, and gentle care; grounded in love, connection, and deep service to the loving evolution of life on this planet.
May we invest, again and again, in a more peaceful society.
May we send out love in every conversation and every action.
May we choose courage over comfort, and repair over blame.
May we practice the small things that change everything: listening, releasing attachments that keep us stuck, opening up more often to joy & delight.
May we be a life force for all that is good, righteous, and uplifting in this great human experiment we are co-creating on this earth, and may it carry us toward deeper care for one another and for all life.
And, when we inevitably fall short, may we begin again with kindness—toward ourselves and toward others.
Today I am grateful to be here, to be learning, and to be creating.

His Substack writings explore how we heal—from the inside out and the bottom up—personally, politically, and culturally—with a particular focus on the intersections between them all. Weaving together politics, psychology, and personal growth, grounded in systems thinking and trauma-awareness.
Truly beautiful words – solemn and sacred as a prayer.
