“There’s no shame in vulnerability” - That’s what I was told when I finally cracked enough for someone to see the real me

The vacuity of world leadership's vision has driven us to futile attempts at healing through politicized, impractical theories of peace. Instead, what we need is to acknowledge and embrace our differences. By solidifying mutual respect for diversity, we can plant the seeds for a small piece of peace to flourish on every doorstep

Listening is directly related to patience.
Patience is inversely related to introspection and analytical abilities, directly related to actions and reactions.
Actions and reactions are directly related to the outcome.

"Crazy things reality and reason!
It exposes the deepest flaws and the shallowest of poor judgement".

In the act of creation, we find ourselves In the weaving of words, we discover truth In the vulnerability of expression, we unearth beauty And in the sharing of our souls, we connect

Possessions are sometimes substitutes for personality.

In politics saying what you don't have to say, at the expenses of others, and not being able to prove it is not in the best interest of the American people.
|
Politicians have checks and balances. With law enforcement it's guilt or innocence. With colleagues it's governing and debates. With the media it's facts. With the American people it's the impression they give.
|
A conversation about politics that does not include human nature is shallow at best.

When I start to write, I try to make of myself a blank slate...left with just the impulse that got me there, at the lone scrimmage. I sit quietly...waiting.... Until an interesting thought or phrase, can be even one word eagerly presenting itself. Then I begin the poem, letting the impulse lead beyond. To me, poetry, along with everything else a writer uses for definition and motivation, above all else is viewed as sacred -- alive and independent literary expression in a manic, schizoid way:)

Separation is only an illusion of consciousness. There is the knowable God, God the Father, and the unknowable God -- beyond all obtainable comprehension. Heaven, earth...there is no true separation. We are multidimensional beings. Of infinite time and space. The real, the unchangeable, are the spirit archetypes behind physical reality. What we see, feel and touch (even our own bodies) are the illusions we have created. They are not meant to present indefinitely as they are.

Who could not use a little extra love!? I love to spoil.

We all have faced arduous moments, yet such matters divulge the depths of life and it shall not be seen as a challenge rather fulfilling and rewarding one’s consciousness, existence and reality.

"I’m not in competition with anyone but myself. Every day, I wake up to be the best version of myself. Some of you are out here fumbling for the real prize, thinking you’ve got endless options when, in reality, you don’t. The people who are true prizes are those who give their best, help, are kind, and who satisfy and support you these are rare. Yet you put in no effort to better yourself or to show up like they do as if greatness comes easy. Greatness is earned.

There is no question nor answer, that does not, somehow, someway, begin and end with us. We are our environment. If desiring a permanent, positive change, it cannot come about by saving our climate nor manipulating our politics. No Second Coming, before the first -- self! Change the way our hearts think, and then the earth will become a pure blossom in the Heaven of Eternity.

Yes we have free will, but only in the sense that we have the ability to surrender the ego and accept a higher will as our own.

“But my brain is so hollow, and Death is like a swallow, fluttering around its little nest that is me. Through my brain, through my reality.”

A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.

The secret of life, of love, is to see the reflection of love throughout creation -- allowing our own permeability.

Democracy is a fallacy, all politicians lie, it's only power they seek.

ALLITERATION alphabetical assonance aloud

When the American people control the narrative democracy is strong. When politicans control the narrative democracy is weak.

Examples of extraordinary courage can boost our confidence. Some men were tested for their faith, or integrity and faced horrible death at the hands of tyrants. Whoever fights for a good cause can be threatened with hostility, or even death; on the contrary, the power is always given to a dumb puppet who is being manipulated by clever men.

Qualities of the God which we fail to imbibe:
He remains within his boundaries; calm - absorbing-kind - forgiving.He always walks along, yet gives us all the space to learn n expand. Every time we turn around shattered, he is always there - smiling n embracing.He has magical power to listen. He listens to us all with equal patience. He sees us making mistakes yet turns them into lessons n levitates us. He rules the world thru his quite bright aura.His meditative state-heis always in his brains.

Politicians can never truthfully answer when questioned, for a simple yes or no is simply out of the question.

Humanity wallows in the molasses of meanness, its morality dimmed by bitterness.

Our world could do with more philosophers, and less politicians.
