America is a country that is now utterly divided when it comes to its society, its economy, its politics. There are definitely two Americas. I live in one, on one block in Baltimore that is part of the viable America, the America that is connected to its own economy, where there is a plausible future for the people born into it.

The greatest contribution we can make to the wellbeing of those in our lives is to have peace in our own hearts.
David Simon
We are innately creative beings capable of writing a love story worth living, and we cannot afford to miss out on the opportunity to experience nourishing relationships.
David Simon
You have the capacity to change the plotline of your life, even if you've been acting from the same script since before you can remember.
David Simon
We have no sense of the collective anymore in America. The response to Katrina was proof positive of that.
David Simon
Eventually, someone is going to pick up a brick.

Meditation is like a bath for the mind it clears and refreshes our windows of perception, allowing more light, love, and happiness to flow into lives.
David Simon
Awakening to who we really are is at the heart of yoga. . . .Yoga offers a path to this underlying field of being, which is the source of creativity, fulfillment, and abundance.
