Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

The 2 wolfs' Story
One of the challenges associated with reading and writing about personal growth, healing and wholeness, is that one person's blessing is another person's curse. One person may need more and another person needs less of the same thing. Some need to pickup their pace others need to slow down. Some people need to be more assertive, others need to control their aggression. Some need to take more risks, while others need to think more before they leap.We tend to miss the message we need to hear. It is as if we wear glasses with filtering lenses. Those who would most benefit from seeing some green, wear glasses that filter out green. Those who would benefit from seeing red, have lenses that let only green shine through. Consciously changing lenses opens new personal perspectives. It can help us discover the undernourished places in our lives. Seeing what we do not wish to see and hearing what we do not wish to hear, is often the only way to move forward in our journey to healing and wholeness. In other words, we choose to be aware instead of avoid. We choose our destiny over our denial. We feed the hungry parts of our spirit, rather than the overfed.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

That Day
That day I was in love.In love with what?
In love with who?
With him or with the man I wanted him to be?
Did I just dream all of it?
Imagined my own story on a blank canvass?
Maybe...
Maybe not...
Guilt of having hope
Of wishing love
Of sharing something different
A connexion
A complicity
A deeper understanding
Of two human being, with flaws...
I liked him.
Time will tell I guess
Imagined my own story on a blank canvass?
Maybe...
Maybe not...
Guilt of having hope
Of wishing love
Of sharing something different
A connexion
A complicity
A deeper understanding
Of two human being, with flaws...
I liked him.
Time will tell I guess
Thank you anyway
I learned some good stuff
Good night
I learned some good stuff
Good night

Nice words
Divine source of all love and knowledge,thank you for your protection
and guidance
I place all my trust in you
and ask that you continue to lead me
along my soul’s true path.
I give thanks for the lessons I am learning,
and asked that I be shown how to help others
through the realm of true
unconditional love.
May we, as a Universe always be blessed
with love, light, health and happiness.

A Note from the Universe
When something difficult or painful happens, always look to see what it makes possible that wouldn't have otherwise been possible. Like a new adventure, a closer friendship, or chocolate in your peanut butter.
Everything makes you better,
The Universe

Someday - Rob Thomas
You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry
[Chorus:]
And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
Now wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run, oh
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it's good to be someone
[Chorus]
And I don't want to wait
I just want to know
I just want to hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow
Cause maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
We'll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just feel better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday[x2]
Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again
