Only when your inner state has conditions conducive for gardening will your exterior experience produce the flowers you long to behold.
If the vase is empty, you may want to start tilling the soil in your chest.

The Invitation
We are all in the School of Love.
For our friends that have forgotten this or have never been told about this wonder of wonders, our job is to gently remind them, enroll them, or invite them. And when we forget, may we have the gift of friends that gently remind, enroll, and invite us back as well.
There’s no pass or fail here. Anything that feels like failure is simply a comma into a new beginning.
We need you in this eternal classroom that flows over a never-ending riverbed of peace, patience, kindness, perseverance, and hope.
It’s here.
It’s now.
It’s among us.
It’s at hand.
If the voice of one of us missing, that’s one too many.

The Song
There’s a song being written with billions and billions of instruments.
It’s the song of us.
Together.
As one.
And one of the instruments in this song is you.
To contribute a verse in this grand symphony of humanity is of the highest vocation.
Indeed, this unfolding symphony just so happens to exist right now in the cosmos and is taking us to a place that is better.
Better than we can imagine.
Right now.
Here.
In this place.
Today.
