I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world, and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ~ E.B. White
I know exactly what E.B. White means…
Must it be a choice? Perhaps the answer to E.B. White’s dilemma is to savor the world every day, while we save it. Or maybe savoring it in actual fact saves it? (Gratitude and reverence.)
It’s a very delicate balance. I believe we are here to do both.
What do artists and writers have to say about the world? Speaking as both, I think they fall into two main categories. They either want you to see the beauty, so you’ll savor it. Or they want you to see the ugliness and pain, so that you’ll help to make it better. I think there is value in both approaches.

Declaration
The future shines bright for
those who put intention there.
Reach for the brass ring!
Time to see ourselves
as the glorious beings
humans truly are.
Let’s choose to become
the galactic citizens
we were born to be.
Consciousness rising,
awareness of destiny,
the big unveiling!
Excitement builds as
we claim the potential of
our own Creation.
