Inspirational Thoughts
Here you
will find some poetry, stories and pearls of wisdom that I have either been sent
to me by wonderful wise friends or I have been fortunate enough to stumble
across. Please note that the pieces you will read here are straight from
the authors/authoresses hearts and it takes great strength to allow others a
look (even for a brief moment) inside their souls. so without further
ado.....

Finding
Evermore
Surrender
to this rain.
The
only road through the canyon is closed
on
a full moon night
when
you can't see past the window.
You
say, I'm not going out there,
but
what do you mean?
The
white field of hail that was a road?
The
blanket of mud that used to be a lake?
The
Earth trembles.
Halfway
around the world a Far Eastern sun
pulls
against us. The odds against becoming
paralyze
your imagination. A lake,
for
instance, is not a road.
But
is there a road?
There
is no natural order.
Every
surface is soft and gives way
to
your touch. Sleep's magic
copies
the ruins in its spiral notebook,
as
if something besides language
could
save us, as if oceans
hadn't
swallowed the rest.
So
cold rain tonight
that
blankets are not enough,
that
darkness drowns the moon.
Do
not think, in your blindness
that
because this full moon burns black
you
can escape it.
Do
not think that stars will fail
to
sear the sky
when
the rain that never blows
against
your bedroom window, blows hard.
You
ask,
will
the house fall?
And
perhaps it will.
As
chaos loves, with her own fierce beauty,
what
moves. She
who
has been with us from the beginning
on
this and every other night
when
we first sought her,
like
a river of crows
draining
the reedy lake
at
the edge of the canyon

May
you find health and happiness and something real in the coming months---
you
have a lot to look forward to - it is time to start a romance with the
person
you have been ignoring but cares about you deeply and is most
important????
Who
is it?? go look in the mirror!!!!

I
walk into the darkness gladly, embracing it as a friend,
Like
a tree in a windstorm still standing, not breaking because I will bend
I
listen to the silence around me, I feel the touch of the night,
Never
doubting my love who goes boldly, seeking only the strong and the right
Ever
and always I love thee, forever my heart will you own,
As
I stand in the shadows unfearful, ever beloved and never alone.
I
watch as you walk from the darkness, your eyes gleaming with love and with lust
I
go to you arms more than willing, as I give you my love and my trust.
My
shadow lover is stronger, than any mere mortal could be,
And
he ever is there just to hold me, in his shadow filled home by the sea
I
stand in the arms of my lover, though alone I seem in your eyes,
But
my lover is stronger than any, and tells me no stories or lies.
Beside
me in spirit are sisters, who feel bout our lover as I,
We
range far apart in our tempers, some fearful, some bold and some shy.
But
alike do our hearts beat in rhythm, and our lover her smiles to see,
Each
sister, though different in viewing, our hearts beat as one thee and me.
So
tell me your stories of weddings, and happily ever after romance,
While
I sleep in the arms of my sisters and Love, ever peaceful in Shadows we dance.

A
CREED TO LIVE BY...
Don't
undermine your worth
by
comparing yourself with others.
It
is because we are different
that
each of us is special.
Don't
set your goals by what
other
people deem important.
Only
you know what is best for you.
Don't
take for granted the things
closest
to your heart.
Cling
to them as you would your life,
for
without them life is meaningless.
Don't
let your life slip through your fingers by living in the
past,
or the future.
By
living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of
your
life.
Don't
give up when you still have
something
to give.
Nothing
is really over
until
the moment you stop trying.
Don't
be afraid to admit that
you
are less that perfect.
It
is this fragile thread
that
binds us to each other.
Don't
be afraid to encounter risks.
It
is by taking chances that
we
learn how to be brave.
Don't
shut love out of your life
by
saying it's impossible to find.
The
quickest way to receive love
is
to give love;
the
fastest way to lose love
is
to hold it too tightly;
and
the best way to keep love
is
to give it wings.
Don't
dismiss your dreams.
To
be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is
to
be without purpose. Don't run through life so fast that you
forget
not only where you've been but also where you're going.
Life
is not a race,
but
a journey to be savored
each
step of the way.
