Observe and reveal multi-faceted information

Do more with a visual - add depth, express emotion, contrast size, show heading, emphasize shape, reveal shadows and illuminate, prompting action.

Acknowledging a viewpoint isn't always the same as agreeing with it.

There are often strong emotions held on all sides of an issue, whether we choose to say them aloud or not. Others may not be as reluctant to do so, and in fact the loudest, the sharpest, the angriest words do usually dominate the conversation. Recognizing that there is merit in all viewpoints, even if only in very specific situations, helps one reexamine ones deeply held convictions. Attempts to expand it in all situations, seeking a single solution to a complex problem is likely to fall short. Changing the focus of the speaker's and also one's one words, casting it in a different context or broadening it in a way which makes it comically absurd, renders any sting the words may carry harmless.

A working solution is often better than a stalled situation.

Taking on difficult problems. Uncertainty abounds. With strong emotions involved on all sides. Action is needed but none which offer a free and clear path. Find some way, question and simplify assumptions, develop a pragmatic solution even if it is not the most efficient one. It will do for the moment. To know if the course of important actions is consistent with ones reasoning and beliefs, test it repeatedly, in a variety of situations, not just the current one, and see how the results turn out. Expect results which in turn tests what we think, feel and believe.

What fuels the stars, what fuels you

Fusion around and within us.

Stellar fusion with its enormous energies provides life giving light and warmth to our world. We are children of this star dust and of the planet. But what of our desires which burn so hot if left unchecked would consume their surroundings. Consider that the parts needed to make us whole - desires, inspirations, yearnings, experiences, ideals; are already present within ourselves. Prepare yourself acting with kindness towards yourself and others, take time to read, to bow ones head seeking guidance, to reflect, to be out in nature, and trust that there will be an answer. A suitable event will provide the catalyst for igniting the reaction within fusing the parts together in harmony. Creating a free flowing fountain of energy within which pours out including others in the process.
