To find richness in a simple way of living. To be inventive, self-reliant, curious, searching. To find ways to do the most with the least. To never make money the goal. To share what I have with those who have less. To value ideals. To always try to live up to them and never count the cost of standing up for convictions. To value the friendship of shared commitments. To be in awe of the incredible intricacies and order of the universe… the rhythms of the sun and the moon and the seasons, the blossoming earth, the waters and the mountains and deserts and stars, the marvel of a human body or the architecture of a flower. To find the divine in the profoundness of the cosmos and in the struggles and joys of the human heart. To be responsible for my part to preserve our planet—the earth, the plants, the animals, air, water. To fight for the rights of people to be free of terror… To take part in this responsibility even when I feel afraid, or inadequate or in jeopardy. To feel richness in each stage of life and to always search for beauty. To feel the flow of music in every creative act. To never be afraid of emotion, to use it richly, responsibly and creatively. To value above all the love that is shared in its fullness. To treasure memories of shared love and respect and to never be afraid if there is pain as well as joy in reliving them.
