"Love moves mountains"

A wonderfully simplified view of the universe states that there are only two essential forces that drive us: love and fear. As we move to higher states and realities of love, it becomes increasingly desirable to release our fears.

I am finding that there are two methods which help me to achieve these intents, to be more driven by love and less by fear. The first is to immerse myself in love. If I think and speak only of love, my actions, my attractions, and my world tend to be more immersed in love.


Hidden in my unconscious thoughts, my fears sometimes gain strength. And they tend to emerge at the most inopportune moments...    Love shadows hate, worry and doubt.    Love moves mountains!!!

"Culturally Iconic" by Malinda Grace

"Culturally Iconic"  by Malinda Grace

It's not not very often in life we see the owner of a great sports team present humble recognition without asking.  Theodore Leonsis owner of the Washington Captials is an sociological pioneer.  After attending Georgetown University in 1977 Leonsis made a unique decision to move back to his parents home and work for Wang Laboratories.  Later in Life he was in a plane crash.  Upon survival he wrote up 101 things he would like to do upon life on this earth.

Ted Leonsis has completed most of this list including own a sports team.  Leonsis was a senior executive for AOL for over 13 years,   Chairman of Revolution Money Snagfilms;  he is the producer of his documentary films such as Peabody and the Emmy award winning piece "Nanking".   He is an acomplished author of the novel "The Pursuit of Happiness."

Ted Leonsis is the current owner of gems in sports proporties including NHL's Washington Capitals & NBA's Washington Wizards.   A Team owner, investor, filmaker, author and philanthropist all seemingly with effort yet much pride.   A family man, people person, greek american, and never one to boast of any accomplishment that was on the 101 list!

Ted Leonsis is an American whom down the road will become culturally iconic and remembered more.  This is what I presume and hope.

"I was of tragedy yesterday, but gathered the remnants of  my strength, unchained irons of shame, untied my wings and arose.  Arose to the depths, knowledge, and gain of everlasting tommarow."

"Black Stone: Part Two"   ~Malinda Grace  2010

"It was a little fearful one whose "Crete" left her all alone with silver waves crashing through the sky above her black and blue. She wanted peace when the day was done yet off the bridge her dreams had flung."

Black Stones: Part One ~ Malinda Grace M.


"A whisper and a scream illuminate restless undiferentiated doubt in which misunderstandings crave to weave instruments of ill omen. Spaces endager and attack until until is gasping it's last breath forsaken.  Not able to pick up the pieces. Rain many moons ago were stopped with quick stride and the twinkle in your eye made peace blossom.  Is it all now but a treasure buried in the depths of the earth and picked up by God and cleansed away?"
