Though no one can go back and make a brand new start my friend, anyone can start from now and make a brand new end.

Wondrous reality

Nothing can fully substitute for firsthand experience. Nothing can equal the value of face to face interaction.

It can be less time consuming and more convenient to engage in life’s activities from a distance. But don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re getting the full experience by doing so.

An ultra high resolution video of the ocean projected on a massive screen can be stunning. Yet you will not feel the wet sand under your feet or the salty breeze against your face.

Virtual and vicarious encounters have their place. Even so, they are no match for the richness and depth of reality.

You deserve the real things, in your experiences, in your relationships, with your senses. The profound truths of your existence, embodied within all of existence, are composed of more than mere information.

Know yourself and your world not just as concepts, but as solid and interconnected manifestations of wondrous reality. Get real, be real, live real, and experience the fullness of your miraculous being.

— Ralph Marston
