A pure heart rests his worries onto God’s loving arms and receives his grace
A pure heart loves all unconditionally and shines God’s love into the world
A pure heart sees the image and likeness of God in all beings, even his enemies
A pure heart is not attached to any earthly desires
For God must must possess our heart alone
Any fear, hatred or greed within us keep us from his love
“Blessed our the pure of heart for shall see God” ❤️🙏🏻

Flowers in the Garden of Love
Lord
May we be rooted in your wisdom
May your love shine onto and within us
May you water us with your compassion and infinite mercy
May we bloom with your love and give beauty to this world
We are all flowers in God’s garden
Blooming at different times with his love
A Mountain in the Storm
Breathing in I see myself as a mountain
Solid in any wind, thunder or rain
No storms of the world can bother me
When I am rooted in God’s love
All worldly conflicts can not take me from his peace when I’m connected to him
God’s grace and strength gives my heart and soul true peace that no storm can take away as long as I stay close to him
When Christ is Within me
When Christ is within me
I become like a child again
Joyful and curious
When Christ is within me
I have the wisdom of the cosmos within me
When Christ is within me
True peace and love flow through me
Bringing light into the darkness of the world
Your Smile is a Miracle
Your smile is a miracle
Your lungs and heart are miracles of life
To be alive is a miracle in itself
You don’t need to strive to become something
You don’t even need to strive to be a
Buddha (awakened one)
Deep down you already are one
You are already successful as you are
You are a miracle of life
The entire cosmos came together to create you and all living beings
The sun, moon, stars, bacteria, plants, water and numerous animals all had to come together for you to be alive here and now
The paradox of life is once you accept yourself as you are today with radical transparency, then you can heal and transform
So accept yourself with deep loving kindness
Shame, hatred, and violence will not heal yourself and the world
Only true love can
Your brother,
Johnny
May my Enemies be Joyful
May my enemies sleep well tonight
May they feel safe and loved
May they heal
May they be joyful like small children
For they are not my true enemy
My true enemy lies within my own greed, hatred and fear
With love,
Johnny

I have loved
I have learned
I have met so many great people
Seen so many new places
Experienced the beauty this world offers
I’m content with the life I have lived
Even with the challenges each day brings
I’m grateful for life
Here is to each day alive
“Life is a test, gratitude is the answer.” -Timber Hawkeye
Human Evolution & Saving Our Planet
From single cell
To hairless apes
Humans left their jungle home
For the great unknown
Soon they ate what they could to survive
Then hunter-gathers began to settle
Building thriving empires on maize, rice, wheat, & rye
The next evolution of the human species
No more need to slaughter
No more need to abuse & exploit their fellow earthlings
In 2021, humanity is still stuck in the past
Stuck in greed, tradition, & fear
Some though are waking up to the suffering of the world & it’s beautiful creatures
Choosing compassion at every meal
If humanity takes the next step towards a vegan world
The world will heal
The animals will live
Pandemics will end
With Aloha,
Johnny
Check out the documentaries “forks over knives”, “cowspiracy”, & “dominion” for why switching to a vegan diet is crucial for saving ourself & earth. Check out nutritionfacts.org for how to eat a healthy plant based diet.
Our Own Life is Our Message.
What do you want to be remembered for?
The shiny sports car?
A fancy corporate title?
Or is there more to life than accumulation and status?
I want to be remembered as a compassionate person.
As someone who reduced the amount of suffering in this world.
Who left this world a little more peaceful then when I arrived.
Not through talk alone but through mindful action.
Our own life is our message.
With Aloha,
Johnny
I’ll Stay in my Own Lane.
I won’t change you
I won’t judge you
I won’t argue with you
I’ll stay in my own lane
For life is too short for me to focus my energy on others
Telling them what they should or shouldn’t do
My work will be to accept all as they are
For I’m no god nor tyrant
No dictator or ruler
My path is mine to walk
No one can walk it for me
And I can not force you to change
Grow & change in your own time
Or not!
Who am I to judge?
I have plenty to work on
Much growth to be had
Any energy spent on you would be wasted
For my life is my message
If others follow
That’s great
If they don’t
That’s fine too!
I’ll stay in my own lane
