Thoughts

Creep in on your thoughts
For when you are sneaky
You will find
Unlikely thoughts
About unlikely subjects
These are the
Troubled areas
In your persona
Write them down
Tear them up
Let them go

And

They will be

Released

Answer The Phone

When you love yourself
You will go out of your way
To do things that are good for you
When you despise yourself
You will go out of your way
To make sure all that you desire
Will never be achieved
So how do you go from despise to love
Easy
Ask God for his assistance
He answers all our prayers

Just pick up the receiver

Today

There is more
There is always more
There is now
There is tomorrow
Yet as the day unfolds
You will realize
Your tomorrows

Are today’s

Graciously

Graciously we open our arms and hearts
To those that cross our paths
We honestly believe that what we have to say matters
Listen to the interaction
Feel the interaction
Is there love or hate
And can you change the feelings of another
Do you care
As you depart
Will you look back
Will you accept what has been exchanged
Will you
Can you
And if you do does that change you
Then as you meet the next
Will Love be present
How do you continue to be drawn to the feelings of love
If hate is knocking on your door
How can you answer with love
If someone has knocked you down
How can you stand up and brush off the dirt
It’s all in how you perceive the encounter
It’s all in how you perceive your emotions
Brush off the dirt
Stand up for love
This will bring you the most joy
If you have a song and love in your heart
Then you will never be without

This One Moment

Great beginnings
Great endings
As you take a step into your future
Whether it is thinking
Or taking action
Know this is the way it is meant to be
You can change
But you will always
Come back to
The essence that you are
You and only you

For you could be no other

You are unique

You are why you are here

So enjoy

Leave the stories behind

After all there is just this one moment

Sipping Cider

When the leaves fall
And bare limbs are left behind
Notice the difference in human nature Bodies are bundled in warm clothes
Cider is sipped to take away the chill
And yet the love is still there
Wrapped in warmth
Given unselfishly
To you and to me

Harmony

The mind thinks one way
The body thinks another
When in harmony, life just flows
When in discord, there are many speed bumps
Some are jarring
Others are a thump
The best advice
Is to keep it simple
Follow your dreams
Live life to its fullest

And never look back

Compassion

Reach out to others
And really listen
Hear what they have to say
Compassion is a gift God gave us
Use it

Diminish

When fear comes to you
Realize it is only a memory
A memory stored in your body
Breathe into that memory
Releasing the tension
When you stay in the memory

Breathing into it
Its strength is diminished

And love is found

Today

Yesterday was a sigh

Today I’ll breathe

Yesterday the day flashed by

Today each moment will linger


Yesterday I cried


Today I will laugh

Yesterday I tried to change the world

Today I will!
