A funeral is for those left behind. Sometimes, one wonders if the weeping is more out of fear for ourselves than it is sympathy for the deceased.

Reject labels. Reject identities. Reject conformity. Reject convention. Reject definitions. Reject names.

Cooperation with others. Perception, experience, tenacity. Know when to lead and when to follow.

By being receptive, we can avail ourselves of the spiritual wealth available to us. By being open, we can receive things beyond what we ourselves might imagine.

We need faith, not because there are beings who will punish us or reward us, but because gods are a wonderful way of describing things that are happening to us.

It is said that if one chooses to pray to a rock with enough devotion, even that rock will come alive.

Use a mirror in difficult times. You will see both cause and resolution.
