everything is going to be ok

I am proud only of those days that pass in undivided tenderness. -robert bly

another month has passed.

damn its all moving so fast.

i’m going to spontaneously put words to paper once again.

no apologies my friends.

keep on shining your light.

whether dim or bright.

it brings the sweet delight.

couldn’t agree more mr. dylan. as for me i think a hero is someone who greets the day with a touch of gratitude, a dash of joy, a pocket full of courage, and a heart that’s willing to try one more time. what is a hero to you dear reader?

each of us is an artist. express yourself. be a traitor. face your fears. move through them. you are here so you must be essential to the trip we are all on together. find your voice. be courageous enough to share your creativity with the world.

it really is this simple. people have the power. they are the few we are the many. choose love not fear. rise up.

life will continue to send messages in the form of experiences until we get the message. pain is unavoidable so best to grow in the process. that way we are an example worthy of the blessing bestowed upon us. do not to take this game of life to seriously. have lots of fun along the way. it will be over before you know it.

it’s a fucking cartoon these days. people all worked up. hating on each other. pointing fingers at every turn. caught up in the trivialities and missing the beauty and joy. allowing the powers that be to deceive us to write the narrative. we don’t have to play along. we can create a new story. one where love peace joy and harmony guide the process. maybe someday. maybe not. either way be sure to laugh often. it’s good for you.

what is life?

it is the smile of a child.

it is the warmth of a fire on a winter’s night.

it is the tender touch upon the hand of a dying loved one.

it is the taste of a ripe peach.

it is the scent of lavender that dances upon the wind

and swirls through the moon lit night.

i am lost

i am found

i am nowhere

i am all around

i am fear

i am love

i am below

i am above

i am bitter

i am innocence

i am hate

i am tolerance

i am caged

i am free

i am you

i am me
