People are like stained glass windows: they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within -E. Kubler-Ross

Only greatly insolent people establish a religious law which is to be taken for granted by others, which should be accepted by everyone on faith, without any discussion or doubts. Why must people do this -L. Tolstoy

We rely upon the poets, the philosophers, and the playwrights to articulate what most of us can only feel, in joy and sorrow. They illuminate the thoughts for which we only grope; they give us the strength and balm we cannot find in ourselves. Whenever I feel my courage wavering I rush to them. They will give me the wisdom of acceptance, the will and resilience to push on -H. Hayes

Don't wait for the Last Judgment. It happens every day –A. Camus

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel –M. Angelo

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe - T. Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

Psychosis

I don’t see it coming...

But I can feel it

It's there

Time, a fast train here...

Gone…

Never to return again

Slipping through the cracks of the universe

Like smoke through a screen

Never before present

As today

Mind forgetting

Brain teasing

Thoughts and remembrances not real

People, places, things

Nouns, verbs, sounds

Clattering clanking louder and louder

Frantic spaces abroad and near

Sweat tears

Blood splattered on sheets and ground

Eyes closed tight

Blocking out lit shadows of fear

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!!

WORD OF THE DAY....

MAKE: From this day forward focus on making everyday count. Make something with your hands & admire it (i.e. your pet a new home, a pillow, a bookshelf, a pie, a healthy meal, or a new garden). Make the phone call that you’ve been putting off. Make love more often & more sweetly. Make as much money as you want & give away every penny that you don’t. Make a moment together magic. After a falsehood, make up. Make your dreams reality, your passions a success story, & your life your own. Make changes. Make a Fresh Start.

WORD OF THE DAY....

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: Today honor yourself with the act of unconditional love. Take every opportunity to be open to receive. Take it in like the drink of water that cools your soul. Accept the partner that always opens your door, kisses you in public, and admires your weaknesses and physical imperfections. Accept the partner that reminds you that what they love about you most is you. From the dent in your chin, to the bow in your leg. Accept the unconditional love your children have no matter how great or how imperfect you think you are. Accept the love you receive unconditionally!!

WORD OF THE DAY....

ENVISION: Today focus on what’s in your minds eye. From whom you are, what you’re wearing, what you taste or smell, how you feel & everything in between. Envision your new home. Envision your marathon walk/run. Envision your unborn child. Envision the people you encounter throughout the day being friendlier, peace, that check in your hand, and your version of a Divine Spirit. Envision you walking again or simply accepting that you can find happiness even if you don’t. Envision happy relationships & the influence it has to inspire others. Envision your fears & how they hinder you & what you need to do to change that. Envision harsh realities & the ability that you alone or in a group can turn them into bright existences.

WORD OF THE DAY....

STAND: Today focus on making a stand..What do you stand for?? Make that decision & STAND UP!! Give yourself a chance to have the courage to stand alone if necessary. Stand in front of someone that needs protection. Stand beside your partner in support. You are strong & supple & capable of bending & flexing when the things that give you fear are flying by.

WORD OF THE DAY....

PLANT: Plant a healthy seed. Plant it in the ground, your heart, or your mind. Plant it in someone else to grow understanding, happiness, or bright ideas. Assure that your seeds are properly fertilized & always give them what they need to grow. Be patient & watch them sprout into a bloom of exactness.  

WORD OF THE DAY....

THINK: Do people tell you that you think to hard or over process things?? If there were two sticks in front of you, equal distance at 10ft away, would you walk a mile on smooth ground to get one or 10ft on broken shards of glass?? Taking a little extra time & going a little further may cause you less pain than trying to achieve results quickly. Let’s focus today on thinking before doing. When you don’t think, the outcome has less chance of being favorable.
