Golden Thoughts

Love – Beauty – Justice – Truth – Mercy
These values are not separate entities.
Together they form the organs of our soul,
vibrating within every human
throughout the community of humanity.

Every Homo sapiens,
whether hunter-gatherer or urbanite,
possesses the ability to love,
owns a sense of beauty,
embraces a pathos for justice,
respects the truth
and has a capacity for mercy.

Love brings us together.
Beauty confirms the health of function.
Justice allows us to navigate the dynamics of community.
Truth anchors us in reality
Mercy defines our humanity.

We cannot neglect one of these values
without neglecting them all,
no more than we can neglect our lungs,
blood, bones or guts
and expect our body to sing with health.

Love – Beauty – Justice – Truth – Mercy
All or none
in vibrant health,
singing the praise of life,
or no memory in the universe
will harbor a spark
of Homo sapiens light.

”I’m free to follow the rules and keep my feet upon the ground
and possess the proper possessions and speak the proper sounds
I’m not sure of my golden thought, but it seems to be profound.
It whispers of another world where humanity dances a second round.”
