Our Possible Impact

  The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world.  There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor.  But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents.  Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.  Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around.  It’s overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt .. ~ Leo Buscaglia ~ Artist Credit : A Maizianne

His Eyes

  his eyes hold life and death  a curse and blessing  a sin and good virtue in his eyes i find myself  and lose myself  duality fading  as every illusion of myself  dissolves in his eyes

Rest With Your Pain

  take your time to heal, my love the way back to yourself isn’t a breathless race or a runaway train your rehabilitation requires respite not rush our rustic open wounds become symmetrically formed scars once we allow ourselves time to rest not when we thrash around the way to healing isn’t a mountain face that you must scale your recovery isn’t a barrier that you have to climb your comeback isn’t an obstacle course of dangling legs, grasping fingers or racing heartbeats that you are being called to scramble around, across or through you won’t mend your heart by “getting over” what happened to you your suffering isn’t a rickety ladder of noisy steps ~ it’s a quiet church of whispering angels ~ it’s a still lake of your beautiful reflection ~ it’s a sacred schoolhouse of learning if we don’t spend time with our pain we never learn from it if we don’t listen to the shifting deep rumbles inside of us we will build our lives on fault lines if we treat our trauma like a racecourse to...

Instead of Talking, Listen

  “ We Indians know about silence. We aren’t afraid of it. In fact, to us it is more powerful than words. Our elders were schooled in the ways of silence, and they passed that along to us. Watch, listen, and then act, they told us. This is the way to live. Watch the animals to see how they care for their young. Watch the elders to see how they behave. Watch the white man to see what he wants. Always watch first, with a still heart and mind, then you will learn. When you have watched enough, then you can act.” Charles Eastman - Ohiyesa, later in life Charles Eastman--Ohiyesa--states in The Soul of an Indian: “... silence-the sign of perfect equilibrium. Silence is the absolute balance of body, mind, and spirit. The man who preserves his self hood ever calm and unshaken by the storms of existence... is the ideal attitude and conduct of life. What are the fruits of silence? They are self-control, true courage or endurance, patience, dignity, and reverence. Silence is the corner-stone ...

Time for a Change

darling, do you feel restlessness keeping you awake at night? are you doing everything you should be doing throughout your day and checking it off your list? but still, something inside of you is gently nudging you to wake up. listen to it darling, it’s your soul telling you it’s time for a change. maybe you’ve been avoiding it because your life is comfortable and you don’t want to give that up. look deeper into yourself and probe. ask questions.  what is my soul trying to tell me? is there something in my life i’m avoiding or should be doing? i promise you if you earnestly search, you will know what to do next. start listening. start writing it down. pay attention to how you feel. start small. be silent once a day for five minutes. find out what it is your soul is trying to make you aware of, so you can live the life god dreamed for you.

You Are Simply Finding Your Way

You  are not lost You are simply finding your way You are not broken You are simply healing and mending your heart  You are not weak  You are simply growing stronger  You are not ugly You are simply discovering your beauty You are not helpless  You are simply stepping into your power  You are not defeated You are simply reclaiming your strength  And you are not nobody You are simply learning who you are. ~Tahlia Hunter 

The Door is Always Open

  To anyone who claims they love me.. Don’t have me in your life if you're just putting up with me. I don't want to feel used or like an inconvenience to anyone. I have a loyal spirit and a big heart, but my fault is giving to much of myself to people who don't accept me as I am. You may want to change me or just wish that I was a little more like you and less like myself. If that's the case, please exit my life. I don't mind at my age being alone. I gravitate towards people that expand my soul and cause me to think deeply about life. If I'm not your cup of tea, so be it. I'm the rare kind and that's why once you do decide to leave you'll be looking for a way back. And I'll hope that you took a piece of me with you.. The piece that longs for more depth and meaning in life. And I hope when you come across a gypsy spirit like myself, you'll sit down and learn her life story. Perhaps over a cup of tea that leaves your cup filled for another seas...
