Use Your Gifts

No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him.
--James Russell Lowell


Our Wise Creator has provided each of us, at birth, with the necessary talents and gifts to make a worthwhile contribution to the world. What we make of those gifts and talents is entirely up to us. We can choose to ignore, and thereby destroy, our innate interests and abilities - or we can choose to pursue them, despite our doubts and fears, and enjoy life to the fullest.

If we wish to use our talents and gifts, we must become aware of those activities and interests we enjoy. Then we must make the effort to explore the opportunities and alternatives available to us.

If we do not find a place for our interests and abilities in the world around us, we needn't be discouraged. We can create one. Dedication and perseverance have opened many seemingly closed doors.

TODAY - Am I doing the best with what I've been given? Am I using my capabilities well? If I am not, am I willing to take the necessary action to achieve inner satisfaction?

Earth. Sun. Moon.

Released in 1987 and stolen from my older brother Joshu's amazing casette collection, this is the album that changed everything for me.

I Got Nothin'

But I'm tired of looking at that New Year's Eve Cake. No words, but above, please find a visual compendium of my recent media diet. Much love for the Wire, Beautiful Boy, Lush Life, and The Taste of Tea.
