To practice your artistry, your mission, your […],

i.e. your own unique vision for a richer, connected humanity.

 

Encourage yourself to be more and more fearlessly

Comfortable and alive within your own skin,

Then, occupy the richness of this imperfect,

often conflicted external world.

We are always full,

however, not always full of life-sustaining beliefs.

What we are filled with   

determines whether life bounces off  us

or penetrates deeply,

infusing us,
