The source of our action The greatest gift any person may give another is themselves. To give off oneself requires sacrifice, it's more than the action of determination, it's more than the connivence of the moment it's the act of love that denies instant gratification for eternal significance through the joy of another. Some parents are seen expressing that love to their own, some children reciprocate with a love of commitment and passion. Yet for many the love of self becomes an idol they refuse to compromise outside their “own," many claim to be givers yet will with ease abuse a stranger, some will claim forgiveness for their own and hate to any “other”. Is it truly possible to be that split, to have such destructive and restorative power working in one and the same. I will say that for a while it may appear so. But inconsistency is consistent.

Migration is the move people make, as individuals who may be broken and frustrated seek change. Regardless of th...

Yet the truth is, I am doing them with the least access to resources than ever before. My messages to the world will be about the reflections, insights and questions that arise in my life that I desire to share. Sometimes we want something so much that it consumes our daily lives and energy through our effort. We keep fighting only to reach the point when we become aware that no matter how well connected we are, no matter how much we want it, no matter how much we hit against the wall.
