"Do not hide your light..."

"Do not hide your light, your divine creative powers, under a bushel and thus allow human creativity to be manipulated and misused by forces of war making, destruction, pessimism, and bureaucracy. Find the creative person, the 'I am,' the divine child at play and at generativity in yourself. Give birth to yourself – your lifestyles, your relationships, your learning, your sexuality, your joys, your healing, your work – and build up in one another the same courage to create. Enter the great power of the universe, a power of constant generativity and do not be afraid. For I am with you always when you are creating. I, too, am a Creator, sometimes called the Creator. But in fact I ask you to be my companions, to share the birthing of images with me, to be my co-creators. Do not bore me by refusing. Do not scandalize me by saying 'I can't.' Do not oppress Mother Earth and her future by refusing to create and co-create. Come, play with me. Let us create together. - Matthew Fox

"A Thousand Words"

A Thousand Words from Ted Chung on Vimeo.

I used to not get 'shorts' but I think I am beginning to understand just how powerful they can be. Here is another cool one I came across today. It really brings home the point that we all desire relationship even if we put up our false self. It also shows how sometimes we have to risk something to find it or we may once again be left alone. Even though this video may have a romantic edge to it you can still see the longing that everyone has to know someone else intimately. Many of us desire deep and authentic relationships with other people but many of us are afraid to risk something to find it. Over the last few years I have realized that this is exactly what everyone wants and desires - we were made for relationships. All to often we let our fear get in the way of something truly satisfying. Reach out to someone.
