"Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny."
Depopulation: Plastics chemicals are reducing women's sex drives and men's sperm counts
“The more processed a food is, the more likely it is to contain hormone-disrupting chemicals
Some of the worst plastics chemical offenders, it turns out, are highly processed foods. Besides the packaging itself, many processed foods are made using equipment that contains plasticizing chemicals, which often end up in the final product.
“One of the recommendations… to potentially lower your exposure is to eat less processed food and to pick fresh things without packaging,” stated Dr. Barrett about the approach she used during her own pregnancy.
Other sources of plastics chemical exposure include PVC piping and flooring, plastic shower curtains, plastic wrap for food, and both furniture and automobile interiors. BPA in plastic bottles and food can linings is also problematic, having been linked to lowered sperm counts in men.
One’s best bet is to avoid processed and fast foods completely, and to stick with fresh foods that come in minimal packaging. Avoiding anything and everything made from or containing plastic – including products labeled “BPA-free” – will also help minimize exposure.“
"We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered."

"I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room."

"Love is the burning point of life, and since all life is sorrowful, so is love. The stronger the love, the more the pain. Love itself is pain, you might say -the pain of being truly alive. […] But love bears all things. […] Love itself is pain, you might say - the pain of being truly alive."
Joseph Campbell (via purplebuddhaproject)
"We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible. And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being."
