Love – Beauty – Justice – Truth – Mercy
These values are not separate entities. Together they form the pillars of our soul. They vibrate within every human and within the common soul of humanity.
Every Homo sapiens, whether living as a hunter-gatherer or an urbanite, posses 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.
“The soul of humanity longs to be a happy family.”

Yesterday was the 365th daily photo-philosophy blog.
I’ve accomplished my goal and published a daily blog for a year. Reviewing all the posts, I’m satisfied with most, proud of some and embarrassed by others. The experience has been enriching and taught me, among other things, that a daily blog is not the way to go. I’m not certain how to continue my ”effort of turning the earth into a garden tended and enjoyed by a healthy humanity.”
I’ll continue to post here sporadically or until I find a better forum. Stay in touch. Feel free to use the comment section or click on the about icon above and mail me directly.
Thanks for the year.

Money rules with three main tools:
intellectual fools
poliltical stools
military ghouls.
Why should money that has no life
determine the conditions of living people?
Life schools.

One thing we know about every individual on the earth. Each of us was produced by a man and a woman. Furthermore, the man who contributed to our genes, our father, had a father and mother, as did the woman, our mother. Not very controversial, is it? If we continue counting the fathers and mothers for each father and mother, before we reach the roots of farming societies the figure is greater than the amount of people who ever lived on the earth.
How is that possible? How can each individual on the earth be the product of more fathers and mother that there ever were? There is but one explanation. We have common ancestors in the past. Lots of them. We are all part of the same family.
Microbiologists have traced the trail of DNA in our cell’s mitochondria back to a single female who lived somewhere around Lake Victoria in Africa about 180 000 years ago. We are all part of the same family.
If we are not convinced by math and biology, religion also tells us that two individuals started the family that we are all part of.
If you can’t wrap your head around the evidence from math, biology and religion try thinking with you heart. It won’t lie to you. We are all part of the same family.

“Like a little leaf on a mighty river
we journey through life toward the sea of eternity.
We can spend our time complaining about
the speed of the flow
and the quality of the water
or we can try to enjoy the ride.”

The moon is a round rock in the heaven of the earth
384 000 miles away
reflecting the light,
the light that
exposes shadows of the night,
pulls the oceans,
stimulates the blood,
sings of beauty,
plays with imagination,
and encourages love.
“We can be messengers of the light
or servants of the shadows.”

We are a spark of the sun in the form of an element of life in the body of humanity. We can access the soul of humanity at any time and measure its pulse to determine the strength of its light.

I’m the offspring of a perfect flower and was highly attractive in my youth. Despite the scars from my struggle with life, I’m still sweeter, tastier and more nourishing than all your artificial imitations combined.

“Happiness can’t be bought
but buying things can distract us
temporarily
by suggesting that we are worthy of receiving.”
