We Are Never Truly Alone
I am a fighter who often makes mistakes—a warrior dedicated to achieving peace for all who prioritize it within the heart of humanity.
I wrote Notes to a Little Bird with the observation that people want change but in the realization that change often comes from within.
As the world tightens and turns about in seemingly maddening disarray, I hope readers find comfort in the pages of Notes to a Little Bird—a conversation inviting them to embrace empathy, seek understanding, and reclaim a shared purpose.
Here are a few excerpts from Notes to a Little Bird:
Integrity
Dear Little Bird,
When you build a nest, don’t steal from others. Gather with care, knowing that integrity is the strongest twig in your home. A nest built on honesty withstands the harshest winds.
—In shared humanity, your kindred spirit
Pecking at the Unknown
Dear Little Bird,
Have you ever watched how birds peck at the ground, turning over leaves and twigs unafraid of what it might find? Be like that! Dig through the surface of things. Ask questions. And when someone tells you the answer, ask them why again. Cultivate curiosity. Use your curiosity to uncover hidden truths and help you find the knowledge you seek.
This world is full of seeds, of ideas, wisdom, and wonder just waiting for you to discover them.
—In shared humanity, your kindred spirit
Inclusivity at the Table
Dear Little Bird,
Every song matters. Every voice is part of the chorus. True harmony is found when all notes are heard, even the softest among us. A nest built by only one bird's logic will not withstand the storm.
When we all contribute toward a solution, we create a home that shelters us all.
—In shared humanity, your kindred spirit
Imagining a Better World
Dear Little Bird,
Close your eyes and picture a world where every nest is safe, every sky is open, and every song is heard. Hold onto this vision —it is the blueprint for your flight. A bird must first imagine the horizon before it soars. Vision is the wind beneath our wings, lifting us from what is to what could be.
—In shared humanity, your kindred spirit
