And so be it..

I am what I am.
In having faith in the beauty within me, I develop trust.
In softness I have strength.
In silence I walk with the gods.
In peace I understand myself and the world.
In conflict I walk
away.
In detachment
I am free.
In respecting all living things, I respect myself.
In dedication I honor the courage within me.
In eternity I have compassion for the nature of all things.
In love I unconditionally accept the evolution of others.
In freedom
I have power.
In my individuality, I express the God-Force within me.
In service I give of what I
have become.
I am what I am:
Eternal, immortal, universal, and infinite.
And so be it.

Be You..tiful

beauty deep

 

I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.
~Margaret Cho

A poem is born.. (in honor of National Poetry Month)

spoken wordsPicture

There once was a skeleton

that dangled from the hanger

hung next to a blue dress

who’s infamous

reputation of a fundamental

mistress

migrated

rapidly

ricocheting within

close confinement

of secrets closeted

her stains could not sustain

the once unsullied

intentions

interlaced into her bosom

in darkness she nested

neglected

seemingly unseen

forgotten

like

long term memory

 

until one day of

disorderly

disdain

a prose was provoked

poetry hence projected

and all that was hidden

was summoned into sight

 

and as I write

doors open to the

dormant..

dim is brought to bright

and diction brings forth light

such is life

of the dead

that lives through present

transcript

sacred verses

unveiled

blogged

and shared

 

ugly endings

resurface

in search of

a seamstress..

A Quotation About The Importance Of Having Passion For Your Work From Iyanla Vanzant

Reblogged from Renard Moreau Presents:

Your job, work, life assignment must be the spark that fuels your fire. It must be a passion that you pursue. You must want it enough to do it for free. You must be willing to stick with it, taking the ups and downs, giving it all that you are for as long as you can! You’ve got to taste it, smell it, know it whether you are awake or asleep.

Bloom Baby Bloom

spring flowers

 

Though I enjoyed the solitude of the winter, I am looking forward to coming out from behind my shadow, and sharing my recent experiences and new found insights. I planted many seeds last season, both positive and negative. I’m now eager to discover which thoughts I tended to the most, as they will be the first to blossom. Happy Spring Equinox!!

The seasons are what a symphony ought to be: four perfect movements in harmony with each other. ~Arthur Rubenstein

Bringing Out The Inner Writer In You

Reblogged from Renard Moreau Presents:

A writer's job is never really over. When they have finished an article, it is time for them to start another (That sort of thing can dampen a blogger's spirit, but they have to always keep producing articles; one after the next).

They may ask themselves, “Well, what would it be today?” And soon after, they have a topic at hand.

Wings of Wisdom

butterfly effect

The hurt you embrace becomes joy.
Call it to your arms where it can
change.

A silkworm eating leaves makes a cocoon.
Each of us weaves a chamber of leaves and sticks.
Silkworms begin to truly exist

as they disappear inside that room.

Without legs, we fly…..
When I stop speaking, this poem will close,

and open its silent wings . . .
