Air, I breathe. Water, I drink. Kindness, I give. Mother earth, I thank. Ancestoers, I remember. Connections, I deepen. Skills, I master. Friends, I cherish. Fears, I question. Anger, I release. Universe, I trust. Wisdom, I grow. Silence, I enter. Love, I share. Life, I am.

By Abigail Thomas: 'Good writing habits. A lot of writing consists of waiting around for the aquarium to settle so you can see the fish. Walking around muttering seems to hasten the process. Taking public transportation nowhere helps. Looking ouit the bus window lets the back of your mind move forward. Don't listen to anything but natural sound. Don't look at anything you have to turn on. This is about the pleasure of silence. This is not meditating; this is reacquainting yourself with yourself. Something interesting might enter your head if you let it alone. We are bombarded by media. We are overstimulated these days. We talk too much.

Cartoon of man and boy, looking at a second man wearing a large hat. The first man says to the boy,'Watch.' Then he says to man in the hat, 'Hey! Your hat is awesome! And you're awesome for wearing it!' The man in the hat says, 'Oh, um, thank you.' And then he has a big smile. The first man says to the boy, 'Now look at his face. We all have powers.' The boy says, 'Cool.'
