Reflections...

On the edge of a cliff, I stood there, pondering and daydreaming, Of alternate realities: The one that is and the one that could be.. Or should be... Limits of love are personified, Yet true love is unconditional & unselfish, The knife that is reality, The cloud that is desire, The tear that is my heart. My heart fell deep into my stomach, As it fell, it screamed When it landed, it shattered into fragments, Scattered everywhere, no assembly: Just a pile of rejected parts. In the fragile state that I was, Answers were few and far between, Questions were obstacles, Thoughts were barriers Feelings were ammunition Tears were inevitable. My tears cut paths down my cheeks, Paths that led nowhere, Not even a safe Haven, The endless journey of Pain. My shattered heart, Lay there, fragmented, unidentifiable, Misshapen, abused, soiled, and forgotten. The knives of feelings prodded the pieces, Poked until each piece bled ...

It's difficult for me to be me around him. When I feel like I am too much, I am compelled to withdraw. This happens so often. He may think I am needy but actually I just want to feel special, loved, trusted,  needed, and useful. Nothing wrong with that. When I am Powerful, I am all of this and more. But right now, I am only pained confusion. He does not understand. Is it that he is too young? I don't know. His heart is pure; he is a blind multifaceted butterfly made purely of glass. Something deep inside me tells me that his heart will never be mine, it will always be passively shared, between me and the one that could have been. My tears, they fall uncontrollably; my heart, it burns indefinitely; my thoughts, they mull  unabashedly; my emotions, they run unreservedly: is it love or lust, I will never know. But at this moment in time, I want something that is shackled to a thousand rock skeletons adorned with relic jewels. It is so far ...

I open up,  Willing to receive Eager to be authentic. Quietly and intently, For guidance and truth. Strongly and vibrantly, Feelings, insights, & setbacks. Strenuously and passionately, I am right in my own rightness. Insightfully and wholesomely, Tearful and joyful pure expression. The Universe, Simplicity, truth, openness: Omnipresent. x I listen,  I receive,  I fight,  I release,  I thank,  ~ Namaste 

When you look into a mirror  What do you see? Feeling ambivalent, you hesitate: You see someone you love You see someone you tolerate You see flaws You see potential Are they not a mirror as well? A mirror of yourself? Recognising that which you see in you, Reflect carefully: this IS you... Everything you perceive in others You perceive in yourself as well... I see Radiant Love & Light I see a Powerful Being I see the whole Universe I see a Life Purpose in motion... What do you see now...... x When you look at someone else,  When I look into the mirror,  Looking again into the mirror, 

The more I encounter children and youth these days, the more I am convinced that ignorance is becoming the new social norm. I rarely see people of the youth these days act with any purpose or self-respect. Do they have any guidance or are they just "winging it", the so-called "fake it 'til you make it" attitude? I have taken almost all of the lessons I learned from my childhood when I interact with life (as well as some additional useful ones I learned in my adulthood). Here are some of the most powerful ones: Respect your elders but do not belittle yourself to them Every Being on the planet has the same value as you do You only have today - make it meaningful Patience is essential to success in life Success is determined not by how rich you are but how you enrich others Your three best friends in life are: Death, Love, and Pain Being authentic is when your thoughts, words, and...

Today is the first day of the rest of your life. It's true. Everyday, when I wake up, I say, "This is the First Day of the Rest of My Life." I am fully aware that Yesterday was a memory (for which I am eternally grateful regardless of what transpired) and Today is a gift. Is the song coming into your head now? " My best friend gave me the best advice... he said each day's a gift and not a given right ." If your Consciousness was high enough, you would realise that the future is not guaranteed. Plans are only thoughts and intentions. But what about now? What about today? A very close friend of mine achieved this level of Consciousness about 3 months ago and last weekend, his life on this planet ended. Did he achieve everything he wanted to achieve? Is he grateful for what he experienced in his lifetime? Whilst the answer to the first question may be in the negative, I have little doubt the last question can only be answered in the affirmative. I...

As beings, we hold great responsibilities in life, both in our personal and professional lives. This is true irrespective of whom that being is. We do not live only for ourselves but also for all beings with whom we interact (regularly or randomly). Therefore, we must live on purpose and carry none of our misgivings or bad habits with us. If we do this, we are not living on purpose but rather out of fear because our actions (which are based on fear) then become the recipient’s problem. Releasing those fears (whether old or new) is the kindest thing we could do for the planet. -- Little Ol' Me x
