“Knowing what you want, but not living that way – as motivation waits.”

So don’t be afraid – you were meant to rise above your ceiling of doubt.

Fill all the spaces between the broken pieces of you – with patience.

I still think of you and that’s okay as long as I keep on moving.

Doing the right thing often requires patience that tests your intent.

Everything you’ve done may be undone for you to accomplish much more.

Letting go of you finally taught me what it meant to truly love you.

Giving up your life to live for someone else will sacrifice true love.

You are everything to me, that includes every broken piece of you.

Our connection will last – even as we walk down separate, winding paths.

Imagine your dreams as billions of stars – shining to guide wakefulness.

Something magical not just about who you are, but all you stand for.

Her soul absorbs all beauty in nature and then reflects all within.

We’ll endure daily scars in our lives through shared adversity.

How you treat yourself becomes the identity others see in you.

Your morning smile leads me out of bed, waking me up to my best self.

Grateful always for the connection we’ve kept since our lives grew apart.

The blues is like a planet. It’s an enormous topic. You can’t ignore the impact that it has had and continues to have on the whole musical culture. It’s a tree that everyone is swinging from. Without it, I don’t know where I would be. It’s indelible and indispensable.

This phase has known cruel colonial occupations which have lasted 300 years in Indonesia.

Once again, we find ourselves back in the unknown – not in the idea of the unknown, but in the lived reality of it. It’s the mind humbled, on its knees, with bare feet and free of the known.

Time to move on, time to get going. What lies ahead I have no way of knowing. But under my feet, baby, grass is growing.

To the heart that knows contentment, every day is Thanksgiving.

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.

Be still and know that I am God.

The whole world steps aside for the man who knows where he is going.
