If life were a highway, I would still look for the footpath, for walking that, I would learn about us, enjoying the extra time to do so.
Sure all life's highways at some point must end, so I plan to ride it in style and plummet in a swan dive when the pavement runs out...And hopefully leave behind artistically that which may make other roads an even better ride...

The Earth's health is the only standard that is all-encompassing enough to overcome the ethnic, cultural, religious, and national tensions that are rending the world asunder.

For that to happen, the collective human consciousness must expand enough so that our highest identification is as Earth-Humans.
What you resist, persists....Let go and your life will flow.
