Smile

December 24, 2009

If this world makes you crazy, you call me up because you know I’ll be there.

Peeling away the translucent outer core that is the kindness
Peeking through the frosted wall and piecing the dust together to find nothing but a boundary
Pushing towards a connection but recoiling when force breaks the stability and clarity.
Perusing a mythical image of “how wonderful it would be to…”

Smile though your heart is aching, smile even though it’s breaking.
If you smile through your pain and sorrow, smile there may be tomorrow.
Hide every trace of sadness because sometimes all you can do is smile to see the sun come shining through.

Presence

December 16, 2009

The constant of full expression, but recall is not a constant presence. Remembering and not depending on the teacher to remind the every second.
Keeping the four corners firm but not constrained,rather open and light to give the full expression.

There was always talk of accepting surrender but not fully giving in. Always talk of understanding where the body lies in Day’s path. Yet having a sense remembrance of “turning”.
Turning, like the turning of a coin, the same should apply to one’s attitude, emotions, and negativity.

Always a remembrance but allow reminders. Allow the heart to soften and accept the “mistake” rather than offended or distraught.

A constant presence, whether emotionally, mentally, or physically. Being aware and have the trials of “change” or growth.

Bringing the eyes and heart forward, allows the legs to root deeper and lift higher. Allowance and affordance, stability but always a

Balance

Constant Reminder

December 13, 2009

The eyes that stare back and tell a story without full verbal expression.
A gentle smile and the respect that is given toward the deserving.
The wholesome voice carries onto the fingers that sing an improvised melody, leading the mind to wander.

Admiration

Her voice chimes and serenades softly. She is to him as he is to you.
Desire to jeopardise but constant hesitation when the truth is reminded that she will always be.

Ignorance doesn’t always pull through.

Please

November 11, 2009

Caught in the whirlwind of past days as if they were desired or longed. An illusion of contentment and happiness.
Secretly, you’re miserable but they don’t believe nor would they prefer to understand.
Because you, you just do, watch things pass by as hope for a shining tomorrow will flutter it’s way across.

Hardly

There is much to be thankful for but when the truth is realized, how can sanity keep afloat?
As if trapped within the mask of the cheerful and suppressing the pink elephant from arising.
Eyes gleam when trust is given yet a constant snatching from thieves of darkness is revealed.
The constant “if only”’s and the desire to be content with everything that comes through the gates of contingency.

Help

this is a surrender

Indivialism

November 8, 2009

It’s one thing to care about what you do but it’s another to take it too seriously. Staring into the eye of the storm and face the rumbling monster, that is yourself.

Serious

Why not just create with personality? Who cares about one persons opinion?
Accept individualism as if it were a religion.
Enemy of yourself

With passion, pride but detachment

Voice and blood
“create a fire, feed the flames, don’t allow it to dwindle away”

Identity

Community

November 5, 2009

You are not alone. We practice together, regardless of acknowledging presence or not.

We chant in unison, filling the air with energy and life.
We shine through our hearts and support each other through inspiration and energy.

Sending encouragement but remembering to support yourself through your mantra.
The importance of community

Unity

When faced with challenges, do not run. Constant escape only signifies weakness and further suffering. Stand up with power, root down and push through the peril.

Loneliness is a construction of insecurities, a construction of fear, construction from a loss sense of community
Do not only depend on yourself, everyone has to surrender so allow others in.
Trusting in one another can be difficult but belief will only take you further rather than backwards.

When feeling small, there are people who understand and will be there. Despite the facts of handling their own lives, there will be ones who support you through the journey. Others only seek benefit for themselves while the ones who stay, will be there when requested. Others have their lives, so expectations of constant support can only hurt one’s soul. Support should not be taken for granted and should be used accordingly.

We are part of a community, whether big or small, there are others who suffer or thrive like you. Keep close the ones who a true and be cautious of the advantage-seekers.
Care for those exactly how you want to be treated.

The importance of harmony

We practice together, paint together, design together, research together, draw together, to form a wonderful formula for growth.

Remember that you are never alone.

The Warrior

November 3, 2009

Standing strong, focusing on the stance and challenging the body.
The focus to be grounded and stay strong regardless of challenges that rip their way through.
Pull the crown and tail towards heaven and the earth then commit.

Breathe

Deep, pure, and whole.
Flow in and out but never be afraid of temporary submission. Not always does the power live on.


Air
is the key to life, water is the key to survival.
Breathe and drink in the sweet nectar of challenge, of success, of acceptance, and allow the heart to constantly shine through.

Whim:

instantaneous action without thought while the result is unpredictable. There have been numerous times where one would have a chance to act out but how many times are regretted?

Such emotional creatures we are.

Emotion itself is a monster and devours us. Sucking out our soul only to manipulate it into it’s distorted child.

Misunderstood, seeking, longing but not to steal, create barriers, or sevour ties becomes an enemy for desire

-simply a portion of one night’s thoughts and feelings

Man in the Mirror

October 30, 2009

“I’m starting with the man in the mirror.
I’m asking him to change his ways.
No message could have been any clearer.
If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself then make a change.”

-Michael Jackson

 

Grow up believing that change can be made. Believing that one person can make a difference…to make it right.
Realizing that it takes more than words to create change.

Change

Overrated? or is it just an empty word? Like myth, can change really happen?
Seeing change happen via one person’s power and strength seems easier but how can someone who isn’t famous, who isn’t rich, who doesn’t have status make that change?

 

Through the inspiration of Michael Jackson, if one wants to make a change…you got to strive and go towards it. Nobody can stop you but yourself. Look at yourself and make that change.
Grow-up with the desire to change the lives of many but when it seems impossible, sometimes it’s easier to look back and listen to yourself and the wisdom of others who have made that difference.

Regardless of method and if the change is positive, the sacrifices, times of downturn, times of doubt, times of question would all be worth it in the end.
Regardless of the scale, whether global or local…or even just one person, being able to simply inspire someone is worth more than money can buy.

Since when did animals deserve to be left alone and lost? Especially when they become part of your life for years but, like people, they age and develop problems. Does that mean “thrown away” or left for someone else to deal with nature?

Since when were animal hospitals a waste of money? If they’re sick, take them to be treated instead of playing doctor. What good comes out of  leaving the matter untreated. Left to suffer as if they don’t have emotions or a personality. They’re just as much a living being as anyone.

Like a child in foster care, what mentality and moral is the basis of the giving when it involves constant unfamiliarity, especially in an old age? Large amounts of fear is involved, how could someone in the right mind see a child in that situation?
