What do I stand for?

  • Randy Clere

    One of THE most potent questions..... As I approach 64 y/o, I have been doing an inventory of all that is essential and non-essential in my life and being.... I often ask, if I were to die in the next moment, would that be ok? I am having thoughts of disappointment and sadness, that I have somehow abandoned my quest for inner wisdom. Perhaps it has taken on a different meaning or has manifested in more subtle ways. however, when I pose this question , I am generally not happy with the unfinish...

    I stand for opportunity. In particular the opportunity to awaken be given the chance to have a connection with other individuals unincumbered by societal limitations. I stand for people to live with out being bogged down by a society driven by consumerism and novel media.

    I stand for beginning again.

    I stand for living my core values in such a way that my outer-self is a reflection and aligns with my inner-self. Of course, a work in progress.

  • Amor fati

    I stand as witness to the passage of extinct life forms. I honor and bless the incredible beauty if these energy manifestations, never to seen again.

    I think freedom is important to me, personal and other types. I had never really taken a firm stand for anything, as I tend to consider others’ point of view highly, and conflict horrifies me. But hearing, for example, that the existing Constitution in Venezuela is being put in jeopardy, prompted me to participate for the first time in organised protests. There has also been a parallel effect that has had to do more with my personal freedom, where I am finding myself, more and more, standing u...

    Having just traveled for two weeks with a friend with whom I lack compatibility, the St. Francis Prayer–MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE comes to mind.

  • Trevor

    I stand to uphold the energy of righteousness I know I was born to. Justice, truth, and compassion light the way.

  • grateful sea

    I stand to greet the new day. Every morning, first thing, I stand out under the sky, lift my eyes and whisper “thank you” to the universe.

  • Kevin

    As each day comes to an end I can only hope that my interactions with others throughout the day have been truthful, kind and respectful. Sprinkle in some prayer, a bit of humor and a dash of hope and joy for tomorrow and that should do it. I would consider my day, if not all my days, complete if others know me by these markers.
