New Age Renaissance

What does it take it make an impact?

What could it take?

Maybe all it takes is a reminder. A reminder that you, or me or people in general, are more.

What if we accidentally became that reminder for someone and they in return, later, became ours?

This, is just a small sample of music I strung together with the help of Garageband on Mac.

The music will be making another appearance on the podcast in episode 40 but I wanted to give you the full music audio experience so you don't have to strain to hear it all later.

Why explore? Why not?

Where does hope come from? How is it we're naturally able to reach out for it when we feel we have nothing else?

Is hope a product of our misfortune or...are we the products of hope's abilities?

Does beginning to know hope mean beginning to know ourselves or, is that just a hope we hope to achieve in an attempt to comfort our sense of loss?

Maybe, we need that sense of loss so we may better know what it means to hope for what we believe we deserve.

Without us there can be no hope; without hope there can be no us.

Speak out in love against violence.

No longer should we sit idle in silence, only to be chained down by ignorance and fear. We must stand together as we've been meant to from the beginning: as equals.

Women, this episode is for you. One person's attempt at letting you know you're seen and heard and supported in your fight for equality.

This was never just your war, women's equality is human equality.

This is only the beginning, a call to action to all who've been made to feel less than human: women, trans, gay, lesbian, bi, pan, asexuals, children and all other mistreated minorities. This is for all of us.

Freedom, is for all of us.

If we strive to be a definitive idea of virtue, does that make us virtuous?

Or is it, only when we cease seeking the absolution of virtue that it's bestowed unto us?

Is virtue permanent or does it only pretend to be so; allowing for the illusion to play out as it flows seamlessly from moment to moment, knowing that if it tried to find itself in one or the other it would only succeed in losing itself entirely?

We're all, at some point or another, our own worst enemy; persecuting ourselves in hopes that it'll prevent others from doing it to us.

Unable, or unwilling, to see ourselves as more than what little society deems us to be worth.

This story is a call to action, to stand up and rise to be what those living in fear don't expect you to be: true.

In this episode, we begin the exploration of the scope of Yin-Yang.

In life, in living and in being. It's all about balance. Our human experience is a part of achieving that balance, whether we want it to be or not.

Chapter seven, Truth.

Often, a story, a journey, leads up to something momentous: The moment of truth.

Life, luckily, provides us with many such moments. It's in them, blanketed in The Uncertain, that we grow not only as we're meant to but most of all as we need to.

So, is this the end of the journey or the beginning of one? That, I leave up to you.

Chapter six, Understanding.

At one point or another, we have to make a choice. We can choose to continue to hide away from the world or choose to venture out and become apart of it.

When we hide, we're governed by pride and think we know; but once we allow ourselves to push past our pride and strive to be who we're meant to be, that's when we develop understanding.

Chapter five, Love.

Is love a natural force or a fantasy founded on false hope? Is love, a weakness or is it the embodiment of strength everlasting?

Who might we be without love?

Can uncertainty help lead us back to self love?
