Ku KA Li. Kukiturnoh
- Kpelle "we are all One"



That seems to be the only thing worth living for these days...



"times like these" by the foo fighters keeps running through
my head and they've never stuck
so true...

'..it's times like these you learn to live again. It's times like these you learn to give again. It's time like these you learn to love again. It's times like these, time, and time again.'



But that's what Life's about...isn't it?



life has been different for me the last couple years... Lots of falls And missed steps, but through and through it's been a great adventure of learning, of listening, of growing.


For the past two years i've been learning just how futile any efforts towards planning ahead truly are... And how I get stuck in the ruts every time i do


That part of the road has taught me not rely on myself - to be slow to talk and quick to listen

...'the Truth is natural like the wind that blows, follow it's direction no matter where it goes'

..and that has been a huge grace - a huge check on my pride; in teaching me to 'turn it off'


It's helped me be humbled...
..its helped me to remember how fallible and how small i am - and in the universe, how small we are...
Humans to the earth
Earth to the sun
Sun to the galaxy
Galaxy to the universe


"there's nothing better than love and service, universally speaking"
- the Red Hot Chili Peppers


...throughout all the peoples
And cultures i've been able to experience - whether be different continents, islands, countries, states, cities, organizations, schools, or cliques - those words, their meaning and purpose, are the firm commonality that is the bond...

..The gene of DNA that is
Our life blood as creation, existence, humanity



..How much we don't understand...


When we whether warring, or fighting - arguing or putting down... Take from or harm another .. to Affirm ourselves


What does pride account
For when it's all about the relationships - no matter what
The religion or beleif


How much we can't perceive or comprehend full totality, even though we talk, and therefore walk Around with absolute ideologies from a single limited and enviroemtally-shaped perspective...


Whether rich or poor
slave or free
Muslim, Jewish or Christian
Hindu or Buddhist
Atheist or Agnostic or believer

'With or without a goal, we
All move the same direction'

Every day is a gift and a lesson.. And that was today's (6/29/2010) for me.


Currently back in Liberia with Teach Peace, we are doing all sorts of projects... Today's being a medical clinic with the disabled.

One of the boys and i were talking about life and opportunities after his eye examination and he asked me
what i wanted to work for in life..


Ans Just As a Liberian had said to me before, i responded:
"Ku KA Li. Kukiturnoh"

"come together"

Everything happens for a reason
Everything and everyone has a Purpose
Love and Unity: One F.A.M.I.L.Y.

'He told me one time he forgot himself & his heart opened up like a door with a loose latch & he tried for days to put it all back in proper order but finally he gave up & left it all jumbled up there in a pile & loved everything equally.'



"Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never do back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment. The eternal makes you urgent. You are loath to let compromise or the threat of danger hold you back from striving toward the summit of fulfillment."
- Don O'Donohue
