Warriors for the human spirit


You don't have to judge others if they have not asked you to. You don't have to even if they have. You don't have to respond to gossip about people who are not present.  You don't have to read the social media posts your friends have posted.

You don't have to respond to comments on your appearance, your opinion or any other personal matter, unless it leads to caring and emotional support. If a comment is helpful to you a thank you is enough. 

You are not obliged to tell anyone what caused you to be upset unless you are part of a supportive team. 

We are not here to be entertainment for others. We are not a soap opera.

We are not units of measurable egos. We are not obliged to buy anything we don't want. You are not obliged to buy things you don't need to support the economy. You are obliged to weigh your purchases with how they support the community and environment. 

We are obliged to remember we are part of the earth and the family of sentient beings.

Your super power is being a witness to all that makes your life more beautiful, hopeful and sustainable. 

The difference between masculine and feminine is how each one functions in society and how each one is honoured and valued.

The difference between black people and white people is how each is treated, honoured and valued,  by the society they live in.

The difference between people of first nations and settlers is the values that influenced and sustained them.

None of these is cast in bronze. Values are not bought. 

Every century we struggle to  find the truth, to nurture it, and to keep it. If truth is purchased by power it becomes a lie.

We are learning how to find the real power in us to survive and nurture generations to come.
