Oblique Travels to Happiness
1. Never deceive yourself.
2. Remember your duty to Humanity: link the molecules of silence in paradisal praise.
3. Ask only for what you will freely give.
4. Mind the future and the past; live in the present.
5. Dedicate yourself to the pursuit of growth.
6. Forgive, do not forget.
7. Counsel those whose strength is failing.
8. Deny executive temptations: you are mortal.
9. Exercise your right to be human, revel in your natural beauty.
10. When you fall, remember to keep breathing.
Life is a journey of fulfillment. Seasons will ebb and flow, let it surround you – feel the rhymes of life in every motion. Revel in divine ecstacy; feel the power flowing through you, outward to encompass the universe – dance with the spirits there, become Unity.
When shadows surround, remember the darkness is only false perception: channel your inner radiance, hugging, loving; inner shrine an outward shield. Banish hearts’ corruption with love – no other force disintegrates false existence to birth reality.
Pain is a reality-check; love is the electric pulse to make sure you’re still alive. Enter the forward spiral, deny fear for compassion. Let emotion wrestle you away from fragile concerns, drift…slowly…let the dreams flow through you, catalysts for growth.
Everyone deserves redemption, most of all from themselves.
Teach the Art of Grace.

Recent observations put into abstract form; alas, I am no good at flowing prose or beautiful imagery. Life is a river, we - all things living - are pebbles moving with the current. As we flow, different things accumulate and begin to differentiate each pebble from all others. This I call "experience". Definitions form and attach themselves to us, some more damning and others more uplifting - the important thing to remember is all of them are vital. In darkness, the merest flicker of light is radiant; in light, shadow provides realism. Every motion provoked from within can illuminate some aspect of ourselves and, applied properly, shine a lantern for others. Too often, I see vast potential wasted in the pursuit of phantasmal glories or ghosts from the past. Live now, Do now, Be now. Flow with purpose. Among other things, life is a quest for definition: we are the authors of our own lives, wielding our own pens, and able to fill a universe of experiences in a single moment. I should note that happiness is not - and perhaps should not - be constant. Peace and content can be, given proper evidence to exist.
Flow ever onward, kith of mine
