From light we come alive - brilliant and ablaze in a celebration of humanity.

From dawns to deserts and the midday sun we thrive in the soulful dance of earth, wind and fire.

From Africa to Mars and the great Ra, we rise and fall on the radiance of this brilliant star.

All praise to the giver, taker and illuminator of destinies.
All praise to light and its playful shadows.
All praise to the sun.

Presence...

There is a great essence that inhabits us, that leaks from our soul, that floods our grandeur, that engulfs our possibility.

There is an authentic presence that defines us, that bleeds dignity, that devours creativity, that oozes originality.

There is a furious strength that radiates from us, that detonates our passion, that explodes our dreams, that demolishes our failings.

And so we stand bare...before the judgment of our God, elders, ancestors and gods, living an unpredictable and unexpected life.

Chaos and Change...

The power, magic and fear of chaos lies in our perception of it.

Chaos is seen by some as the source from which all possibilities arise and the world was created.

It is also seen by others as proof of our moral failings and a breakdown in our value system. Anarchy.

Sages see it as a point of transformation, a necessity if we are to grow and move to the next level of our existence.

Chaos is a an aspect of change.

In the natural, ever changing chaotic world, we can be seen, on occasion, as a source of order, balance and meaning, through our perceptions and actions.

We can be a source of the peace we seek.
