Let discernment be your trustee, and mistakes your teacher. - T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with "The Divine Presence"

"Don’t spoil me with your lies, love me with your truth."

"When individuals and communities do not govern self, they risk being ruled by external forces that care less about the well-being of the village."

"Past and future is determined by what is now…right now! This is why the present is a gift; the only one that ultimately matters most."

"Divide the constant tide and random noisiness of energetic flow, with conscious recurring moments of empty mind, solitude, gratitude and deep...slow...breathing. Of this, the natural law of self-preservation demands."

"While fear depletes power, faith gives wings for the soul’s elevation."
