Sometimes the desire to be lost again, as long ago, comes over me like a vapor. With growth into adulthood, responsibilities claimed me, so many heavy coats. I didn't choose them, I don't fault them, but it took time to reject them. Now in the spring I kneel, I put my face into the packets of violets, the dampness, the freshness, the sense of ever-ness. Something is wrong, I know it, if I don't keep my attention on eternity. May I be the tiniest nail in the house of the universe, tiny but useful. May I stay forever upstream. May I look down upon the windflower and the bull thistle and the coreopsis with the greatest respect.

One born disabled might have already ascended to the highest glory of christ consciousness so might warrant more respect, however worshiping them as God's without knowing is like playing Russian roulette with your ascension, so all might need to be treated equally in such a case. If you worship a desease instead of try or pray to heal it what will return to you might be desease of its own. Fearing desease or ugliness instead of seeing the light of the cure or acceptance within a person might make you fear desease or ugliness in your own appearance causing more of such. So the real question is should we still pay the doctor and not the doctor pay you for this shared service?

It maybe that all footsteps are glorious but if not perhaps the most natural glory to come are not covered by footsteps of glory yet at all and may never be. That is why we must try to respect children, even the ones born naturally without feet. This is the meaning of humble beginnings.

Love is about respect, understanding, and mutual support. It’s not about compromising your self-worth or dignity. Remember, your value is not measured by what you’re willing to give up, but by how you honor yourself in any relationship.

Your worth is defined by your unique qualities, experiences, and contributions, not by others' perceptions. You are inherently valuable, deserving of love and respect, regardless of external judgments. Never let anyone undermine your self-esteem or diminish your worth. Stay true to yourself, be confident, and embrace your authenticity. Make the daily choice to show up as your genuine self, unapologetically. Your true worth remains constant, unaffected by others' opinions. Let the world see the brilliance of who you are, for you are deserving of love and appreciation just as you are. Stay off Drugs, stop the KUSH!

In a world where words are often mere amusement, it is imperative to forge a new dictionary that enlightens the masses on the true worth of spoken words.

A truly free society is based on a vision of respect for people and what they value. In a truly free society, any business that disrespects its customers will fail, and deserves to do so. The same should be true of any government that disrespects its citizens. The central belief and fatal conceit of the current administration is that you are incapable of running your own life, but those in power are capable of running it for you. This is the essence of big government and collectivism.

(The American electorate is) going to see a race, and they’re going to judge whether or not I have it or don’t have it. I respect them taking a hard look at it. I take a hard look at it as well – I took a hard look at it before I decided to run, and I feel good, I feel excited about the prospects.
