"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face…You must do the thing you cannot do.”

Humanity

We forget sometimes, that we are not a bottom line, a social security, a password, an image, a mouth to feed, a responsibility, a liability: a number.

We forget that behind each face we see, each hand we shake, each conversation: is a larger story.

We forget the origin, the beginning, the evolution : how we got here.

------------------------------------------------

Today I remember that:
everyone is a soul, each soul has a purpose, each one of us is unique, each soul carries a story.

Some are new: confused, easily guided, in this world the new are plenty.

Some have: seen the ages, learned from past mistakes, are determined to make a difference.

I am one of many

I am here to create change

I am here to help others

I am here as a martyr of change

Personal yearning is human but it is not in fulfilling the void of our ego that maintains us.

It is feeding our soul, our purpose, our connection that fulfills us.

Some will understand this message some will read...

I just need to affirm my purpose for myself, remind myself it's their story, their souls that matter.

I am simply the messenger of a greater picture.

Today FEAR is only a four letter word

Everyday is like a new adventure 
for everyone but me
I have sipped this coffee
Sat on this bed
Held this hand
This is home

This is a new adventure for everyone but me
When you stride the rungs
leap the gaps
in constant free fall

You get used

to the wind in hair
the constant pull
 free falling into
 fates choice

No end 
no floor
  land
feet finding 
no carpet, no stone
blacktop
is only a mirage

Black shows me
the endless possibility
the  joy of
this

Love is never a
pad lock in key
unless your being held
Keep falling
instead 

the dream is only feared
by those who prefer 
the cage

Limit
less
the fall
I will grasp
carry those I love 
with me

Ending
the freedom
of the starlite sky
the supernova's

we will end 
in an explosion
like every other
star
free falling

in a dark lit sky

What defines us?

What defines us?

These days I find its down to the bottom line of how much we make, how prestigious our job is...

We are losing sight of what matters!

What we do for a living that allows us to fully live our lives does not define who we are.
It is arbitrarilly chosen by the powers that be and circumstance.
Sometimes we must move beyond the simple narrow minded view of others, and look towards the larger picture.

I will not be defines by the job I do.
I will not be defined by how I make my income. Its things outside of that, that truly defines me.

I am committing my life to bettering the lives of others.
That counts for something.
I am penning a new book on the inner strength of the body and spirit.

I am looking to bring hope to this place that seems so desolate to me.

So I am taking a day to re-evaluate.
To re-charge

Tommorow I will tackle the world of JOB

Right now I will create something to share with the world.
I its not what I will do everyday 9-5 that will define me, it is the larger dream, the larger goal that will envelope me and drive me to a place of wholeness.
