Well I’ve seen those things that one could only see in dreams…

But I’ve got nothing to fear

Because I know there are others here

Who feel the same as me

So brothers, sisters let us march

Let us show the world our hearts

With faith and humility

Yes, set your sails put out to sea

Rest your fears and come with me

We’ll get an eternal view

And we have seen those things

That one could only see in dreams

“What if all of this is towards your happiness? What if catastrophe is not as it seems – destructive in its dismantling of all we’ve made familiar – but creative, in Nature’s way, always evolving towards the most harmonious design. Of course, it’s natural to resist that which is crumbling away and being taken from us too soon, but it may be precisely because you are ready for a broader, more expansive perspective. A widening of your way in the world. Your way was not wrong and you are not being punished. This is not ‘the price you have to pay’ for your ignorance. This is happiness wanting to get through, like determined rays slicing through an obscuring fog.” ~ Dreamwork with Toko-pa

Painting by Gabriel Pürstinger

“Spend thyself, have no fear for you are connected Root and twig To the deep earth and sky. Pour yourself out, hold nothing back for the spring from which you are drawn Has no final drop. Burn bright, conserve not your light for the sun of yourself Will shine after lesser stars Have fallen from the sky. Know that… Breathing, you triumph Feeling, you are God’s fingertip touching the earth Loving, you give life.” ~Jacob Nordby

Art by Andrea Galluzzo

A 64 year-old man in Istanbul decided to brighten the neighborhood by painting rainbow colors on some wide, gray, crumbling stairs. When municipal officials sent workers after nightfall to hurriedly repaint the steps gray, a quiet revolution started on Twitter. Not only did volunteers come out to repaint those stairs that Huseyin Cetinel had spent hundreds of dollars on, they painted other stairs and walkways in cities around Turkey, posting photos on social media. A Pandora’s Box of color had unwittingly been opened.
