context











Do you feel it?

All the fish swimming in the sea,
All the birds flying in the sky,
All the creatures and plants here on earth:
Our common ancestry joins us together.

How do you feel about it?

Imagine the depth of the universe
Far beyond as far as we can see.
Imagine time without beginning or end
Far past any duration we can grasp.

What do you do about it?

Imagine the infinitesimal microscopic world,
Dynamically changing moment by moment.
Imagine this transitory speck of human life
That’s here and gone before you blink twice.

Who is a good person?

What we give to others is who we are.
How we can make things better defines us.
Teach what you know, change what you can.
Create music, song and art to inspire us.
