I’d rather leave tonight while the bands still playing, with gratitude in my heart for the dance.

"When you choose to live life open, in total truth, there is certain vulnerability just under the surface. You need to make peace with that feeling, that insight that you have, even when it’s really hard to do. The “If thens…” in life that you used to play out over and over in your mind become meaningless, you traded them in for gratitude and acceptance, knowing that you already have everything you need." - ts

Vulnerability

"Once you come to terms with your vulnerability and accept it as a valide aspect of yourself, you're not so frightened of it. You can have confidence that yes, you're vulnerable, but no longer scared. I'm not afraid of my shadow.

There's a price you pay for being an artist, and that's being vulnerable. It's where the inspiration comes from. It's also what makes artists so self-possessed. The senses aren't deadened, and there's an unfiltered source of external experience that's overwhelming." - Eliza Gilkyson

We Cannot Live the Afternoon of Life According to the Program of Life's Morning

"Thoroughly unprepared, we take the step into the afternoon of life. Worse still we take this step with the false presupposition that our truths and ideals will serve us as hither to. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning. For what was great in the morning will be little at evening and what in the morning was true, at evening will have become a lie.”

Commitment Precedes Vision

"In life, many thoughts are born in the course of a moment, an hour, a day. Some are dreams, some visions. Often, we are unable to distinguish between them. To some, they are the same; however, not all dreams are visions. Much energy is lost in fanciful dreams that never bear fruit. But visions are messages from the Great Spirit, each for a different purpose in life. Consequently, one person's vision may not be that of another. To have a vision, one must be prepared to receive it, and when it comes, to accept it. Thus when these inner urges become reality, only then can visions be fulfilled. The spiritual side of life knows everyone's heart and who to trust. How could a vision ever be given to someone to harbor if that person could not be trusted to carry it out. The message is simple: commitment precedes vision." - High Eagle
