“This Pink-Haired Narcissist Has Something To Teach Us About Being A Good Person”
p.p.s. Also featured on Karmatube.com this week:
“A picture of John Styn’s grandfather, Rev. Caleb Elroy Shikles, with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a huge impact on John Styn’s life growing up. It made him realize that great people are not “them” – they are “us.” In this funny, emotional TEDx talk, Styn shares his grandpa’s lessons of living life in intense gratitude and the joy that comes from gifting. We all have a choice every moment of our lives. Are we going to focus on the (ice cream) cone or the (dog) crap?”

At my mind’s gate…
The spear is one of my prized possessions. It was a gift from Jim Parisi. He brought it back from travels in Africa. To him it symbolized a true “cocky bastard,” the Masai tribesman – who would stare down a Lion with nothing but this spear.

Miracles in every moment
“Yet what is more awesome: to believe that God created everything in six days, or to believe that the biosphere came into being on its own, with no creator, and partially lawlessly? I find the latter proposition so stunning, so worthy of awe and respect, that I am happy to accept this natural creativity in the universe as a reinvention of ‘God.'”
-Stuart Kauffman, Reinventing the Sacred

Love more. Fear less.
I was searching the web, trying to confirm that “Love more. Fear less” is my original quote. I found this sticker art from helsinki. Also a number of myspace profiles had it as a tagline.
But so far, I think I can still claim it.
Oh, p.s. see: LoveMoreFearLess.com
Einstein on Religion
“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”
