“Metaphors are not to be trifled with. A single metaphor can give birth to love.”

Once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

Samsara, New Non-Narrative Film by Ron Fricke

Be intellectually and morally rigorous in your own decision-making, and expect that the important people in your life do the same, if they want to stay important to you.

ART PROJECT

Draw a picture of the thing you love the most and beneath it write a small description of how and why. Take that picture and make fifty copies the size of business cards, cut them out and put them in your wallet. Each time you meet someone, instead of giving them your phone number give them this card. Once the first fifty are gone, make fifty more. Change the picture and the description as often as needed. Repeat until you’ve met everyone on earth.

Nothing ever happens the way you imagine it will. But then again, if you don’t imagine, nothing ever happens at all.

Or just be at VegNews HQ, 3505 20th St. (at Mission) on Sunday, April 22, between noon and 4 p.m. to buy tons of vegan treats. Sales benefit the House Rabbit Society and you know we love us some bunnies. This site might as well be sponsored by bunnies. And pit bulls. And crippling depression. And big-ass cookies.

The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom, and any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile. Love is a sacred art. To be in love is to be in a holy relationship.

Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep…feel it all – look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.
