CURRENT MISSION

to find myself blessed wherever I am

PHILOSOPHY

The sun shines for everyone and the moon too.

"All I want is food and creative love." Rusted Root

"Sun is shining, the weather is sweet now
Make you wanna move your dancing feet"

It's neither right nor wrong, its thinking that makes it so...

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind. -Bob Marley

"The only thing my mother could give me that will always exist...is the earth and nothing more, its the only thing that will always exist, La tierra es la unica que por siempre existera, La Tierra, mijita la tierra is all we got and the sun how it shines, and the sky how clear it is and the air so fresh and the earth how I will return back to her." Liza Garza Bloom/Beautiful.

"and who
ever said that life is suffering
i think they had their finger on the pulse of joy
ain't the power of transcendence
the greatest one we can employ" Ani
