Daily Signet

Ride out your storms with joy. Sacred journey. These riches never depend only on what you have been given, but just as much upon what you make of what you have been given. I dance the moment and make it live.

Listen. Hear it. In that first death I heard the Vital. And I heard It true in Mahler—or in Mozart. Far, far more than the tools of the old and little enlightenment is the Vital of a New and Great Enlightenment of that most human that rides on Beauty and Joy. On Love and Life. All Beloved. Can you hear it?  Man is not human because he makes tools. He is human because he sings. With words he sings each one like a bard.
