Open yourself to your fellow humans. Allow yourself to experience what you feel toward them, and to hear what they feel. Your interactions with them form the basis of your growth. When you fear what you will find in yourself, or what you will find in others, if you allow yourself to hear what others have to say, you turn your back on the opportunities that the Universe is giving you to find the power of your heart, the power of compassion. It is not until you have the courage to engage in human relationships that you grow. --- Gary Zukav

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

Keep on Truckin' in particular inspired his (illustrator R. Crumb) disdain, a theme that he revisited more than once. In a 1990 cartoon about the creation of the iconic image, Crumb described pop music as "the rhythms of cultural death. In my own spaced-out, inarticulate way, I tried to draw the images I saw in my mind when I heard modern pop music on LSD ... clownish fools boppin' and jivin' in the garbage heap they were making out of the Earth. ... I was fooled by my own drawings. Other people thought they were happy images of relaxed cartoon characters just havin' a good ol' time ... so I did too! I forgot what they really were.

to talk with the One that I belong to.

May I express there everything in my heart,

and may all the foliage of the field,

all grasses, trees, and plants,

may they all awake at my coming,

to send the powers of their life into the words of my prayer

so that my prayer and speech are made whole

through the life and spirit of all growing things,

which are made as one by their transcendent Source.

To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us ~ and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference.

Among our people, friendship is held to be the severest test of character...to have a friend, and to be true under any and all trials, is the truest mark of a man!…It is the essence of comradeship and fraternal love, without thought of pleasure or gain,, but rather for moral support and inspiration. Each vows to die for the other if need be, and nothing is denied the brother-friend, but neither is anything required that is not in accord with the highest conception of the Indian mind. ---Ohiyesa, Charles Alexander Eastman, ‘The Soul Of An Indian’

The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it's the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.

Real love means more than flowers, means more than beautiful words.
Real love is keeping promises,
Holding on when you don't want to,
Being strong so that others may rest,
And as time and change swirl around us,
The love we share stands quietly,
In the midst of our lives
Forever beautiful,
Forever real

It is the consistent choice of the path with heart

Which makes the warrior different from the average man.

He knows that a path has heart when he is one with it,

When he experiences a great peace and pleasure traversing its length.
