A Good Friday Quote for us all to embrace

"There are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents.

Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give."

— Leo Buscaglia

Wednesday;

It really did mean more than just the 4th. day of this particular Easter week!

Today actually reminded me that sometimes, even when you know the answer, the question(s) might be the missing ingredient!

Which, is yet another reason why I'm always open to learning more, and never forming opinions without the facts. Kind of like your smile actually..

Life, it reminds me Universe, we're only provided so many chances to love another for a reason beyond our understanding. Even if we refuse to believe

Lunch had me thinking;

"You say you don't know,
how to do it now, So you run,

It's not that you're bleeding,
but you're through it now,

So you run, so you run,

I know that you need it,
can't live alone,

So you run, so you run...

Does anyone ask you?

If you cry in your sleep do you feel okay

When you run,

Thinking its doomsday,
you got to let it go,

So you run, so you run...

Pretend you don't see it,
that way we can live the lie,
when you run...

So you run.."

Zip Codes and the Wind within;

Isn't it just like the wind to stir things up,
when you're trying to be quiet?
For here we sit, each within different zip codes of this new life, doing our best to deny that it’s happening just like we willed it, and still, w/out any temptation to deny its reality.

Lights flicker up from the console, and no matter how wide she sings,
still, I can hear another’s voice pouring through me,
passed the audio adrenaline that permeates through this darkness
that I’m trying to dispel from within.

She sings; where is the freedom I’ve left behind,
And here I am wondering about gazebos and running water in my mind

In this room the heat pipes up past the breezes of her voice, and still there’s nothing that moves me past the rhythms generated between us.

Me, I should have called beautiful..

Fishing and cleaning;

 

As an aside:
As my life continues to change... my soul aches for another kind of freedom! Freedom comes in many forms. It is an internal, emotional freedom that I seek to embrace & share!

During this life's new journey, I would like to actually "learn" the lessons I am presented with, then take that knowledge and share it with the world. I want to be someone who is aware of who they really are, and is okay with the reality of it. One that can appreciate imperfection, and truly see the beauty in it. One who is not afraid to be themselves, not afraid to love, not afraid to trust, for I long to be one with the Earth, to walk barefoot upon her beauty.

Me, I no longer see "life lessons" and challenges as obstacles, but rather as fuel that makes my growth faster and easier. Ideally, that's okay w/you.

Note to self(and others): God chose You!!

When David came in, God told Samuel; "he’s the one I have chose.” God wanted David 2 be king. David, the shepherd boy, the eighth son in a culture which gave preference to the oldest.

David from a family w/out wealth or influence in their tribe(1 Sam. 16:4,5; 18:18). The most unlikely candidate to be king, but God CHOSE David.

Why; "Because David was a man after God’s heart"
