may we be free…


may all beings and all life

in every realm, in every direction

be happy, be peaceful, and at ease
may we be free from fear and anxiety

may we be free from anger

and may we be free from greed
may we be free from delusion

may we be free from attachment

and may we be free from all suffering

we are one…


let us continue to use our voices, our art, our power to shine light on that which is delusion, fear, division and hate – by offering up the opposite which is truth, wisdom, awareness, inclusion, and love to the altar of life ~j
One’s sense of separation – that I’m separate from you and the rest of the world, so my well-being is separate from yours – is the fundamental delusion that needs to be overcome…

When we feel a deeper connection with other people in the world, then naturally there’s going to be compassion and concern and wanting to live in a different kind of way. When this happens, the meaning of my life changes. Instead of thinking “What’s in this for me?” we find ourselves asking “What can I do to make this situation better for everyone?”
