Wet and salty skin. A curious butterfly Landed on my hand.

He was an old man, yet his passion was fiery, often fueled by anger when his audience seemed to miss the core of his message. What was his message? It was simple, yet revolutionary: think for yourself. Find the truth within. Cleanse your conscience, purge it all at once.

Let go of your carefully constructed ego. These are the blocks, the thorns that prevent your luminous being from shining through.

I'll start talking, but who knows when I'll end?

New Hope

Fly with glee, My busy bee! You are free, Can't you see? Count to three, Then show to me, The next sweet tree, Where you'll be.
