Sometimes our light goes out

 but it is blown into a flame by another human being.

 Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

...just BE. real...

'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 

'You become. It takes a long time.

 That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily,

 or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. 

Generally, by the time you are Real, 

most of your hair has been loved off,

 and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. 

But these things don't matter at all, 

because once you are Real you can't be ugly, 

except to people who don't understand.” 
― Margery Williams Bianco, The Velveteen Rabbit

but where do we find honesty, warmth and friendship?

what are real values, real goals, real love, a real life?

and most importantly, how can we rediscover our own true selves?

the simple wisdom of the classic children's story 

The Velveteen Rabbit can be the start of your

return to Real.

let this book show you the way.

[from the back cover of this book.]

One of the greatest misconceptions that people live in is that they don't make a difference.

 ~Martha Louis

...just BE. white whisper...

Often, I write all day long with white ink on white paper, 

late into the night, until it is all I can do to feel the letters 

curving to earth from the tip of the pen & then, I fall asleep.

Dreaming of running, or maybe driving in a car the color of water

& I wake the next day remembering nothing & I gather the stack of 

paper & a pen of black on the desk in front of me & the words begin to

dance over the page like long legged insects across a still lake

& the words in white whisper behind & underneath the new day. 

If there is any secret to this life I live, this is it: the 

sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can. 

& there is nothing more to it than that.

~Storypeople

sometimes.

you see more depth.

in black and white.

than in color.

the sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can.

simply.

simple.

just BE.
