    Beautiful Man, Brother! You may have burned “Revolutionary Man” on a pyre but you are most assuredly a revolutionary man. This is gorgeous and raw…an invitation by way of an offering. Thank you.

    At the end of the day, and at the start of the day, regardless of the traits and labels, we're just 'nobodys'. I love it!

    It is a bit strange tho isn't it. As if all of this great development, experimentation and work has led us to this place of emptiness and void. I wonder what's here and what's next.

    Mmm. I watched you talk and felt your truth so deeply. Two and a half years ago, I left my career and path and embarked on a journey of spiritual discovery. After two and a half years, two weeks ago I found myself prostrate in a hospital bed for the next 5 days. I have always wanted, no, ached to _be_ someone. After being released from the hospital, I spent the next 5 days in a constant state of increasing, unbearable grief. But I committed myself to push through, knowing that I would rather die from the suffering of all the world then to allow myself a cop out. It is transforming my life. As of now, I stand with you, my brother, in gratitude for your gift of wisdom and dedication to your practice. I am humbled and inspired.

    Wow. Thank u food sharing! I have been obsessed with making a difference and being someone that makes a difference and losing focus on all of the simple things and joys that exist when one can drop all of that! Thank you for sharing the joy of emptiness and being a nobody for that is the true state of buddha-hood and when all that life is can truly unfold. Thank you for the inspiration! You probably don't remember me but I sat next to you at an Ali Brown conference in LA awhile back…and it's been awesome knowing you virtually boa Facebook and how you so courageously share your journey!
