Learn to love yourself
and all the love
you’ll ever need
Is right here
Inside of you
Learn to respect yourself
and all the acceptance
you crave
Is right here
Inside of you
Learn to give yourself
and all the reward
you receive
Is right here
Inside of you
Don’t lose yourself
Do not get lost in others
The “one” you seek
Is right here
It’s you ♥
The full moon draws a kind of a melancholic madness from my soul. I long for something that has no name.
Before, I would shy away from it. Pack it in a closet and try to lock the door. Now I embrace it and let it take me where it wants to.
Tonight I’m mesmerized by its beauty. A satellite in the sky…
I believe it has a lot to do with the amount of water in our bodies and maybe the water in our bodies are subjected to a mini tide…and when the moon is full, we are more vulnerable to the pull of the moon. Or maybe I’m just crazy…I’ve been told that before 🙂
Clouds move leisurely past your eye
You touch them with your roundness
The fullness of you casts a light
When we’re full, we stop
Yes, when we are satiated
we stop.
One can love to the fill
Then, no more…
We reached the full moon of our love
Oh no love, this is just the start.
When the darkness come
We have the starlight
Moon love is not ours
We have the love of the sky
Moon and stars
Sun and rain
An expanse
It is so; love speaks
in a thousand tongues
There are many ways
to love
I choose your love
It is so; happiness
begins within
not with him
I choose happiness with you
It is so that life’s choices
will lead you on many paths
smooth and tough
I choose to face it with you
It is so; life is change
It is as constant as the air moving
the sun rising
I choose the way you change me
It is so; your love woke me up
It wasn’t planned, nor expected…
But so needed
It is so; I love you
Love, Devotion, Feelings, Emotions
Don’t be afraid to be weak
Don’t be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
It will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence
If you want then to start to laugh
If you must then start to cry
Be yourself, don’t hide
Just believe in destiny
Don’t care what people think
Just follow your own way
Don’t give up and use the chance
To return to innocence…
Enigma – Return to innocence
I dug out some of my old CD’s this week. I forgot about this song. Now it kind of makes more sense than it did when it first arrived on the scene back in the nineties.
I was so moved by the words. So simple but so true! This is the truth. If there is one thing I want to instill in my child, it is to never ever ever care about what other people think of you. I wasted so much of my life worrying about other people and what they thought of me. So much time. I was too scared to speak my mind so many times. There is a way to speak your mind that is not disrespectful, but the only way to stand firmly on your own two feet. I went about it in the wrong way. I would have probably not even been in those situations, if only I believed in myself.
You can always return to innocence. You have never been too damaged, too unworthy, too ugly, to renew yourself. I found a way back. From rape, from embarrassment, from great disappointment, from failure, from abuse. I found my way back.
One leaf many leaves
Does one leaf maketh a tree?
He turned right, when he left
Or did he turn left?
He leaves her standing
Why do leaves fall?
Leaving the tree behind
But the tree can not run
It stands still
left to make
more leaves… or is it
rights?
For not one leaf
maketh the tree,
what it is.
What is it?
A strong, beautiful, breathing, living, wonder
It’s said, a picture paints a thousand words. Well, I don’t usually post pictures, personal pictures of me, or even pictures I’ve taken, but I thought that maybe it’s the only way I can “say” how happy I am right now.
I want to get back to writing again, so hopefully I’ll be overflowing with some more positive words in the near future. I do miss writing, a lot.
C u later…
I went out exploring with my kid yesterday and discovered the most beautiful forest, a pond filled with waterlillies and the old ruins of what looked like pretty big estate from centuries ago.
I started thinking how amazing the world can be right under our noses.
How come it took me ten years to discover this place? I believe that we see what we want to see, or better yet, we see what we expect to see. This is how things are missed. We reach points in our lives where we think, this is it, it doesn’t get any better, or I have found what I’m looking for. But today I implore you, rather think, there is more to discover; my little world is small and I haven’t seen the rest of the world. Think big, look for the small, the inconspicuous, the hidden. This is where the adventure begins 🙂
P.S. In my opinion, scenes like this started the impressionist art form.
Love this song 🙂 Happy Wednesday
our bodies wasting away
till every step we stray
our minds slowing down
till there’s just a laughing clown
our hearts beating harder
till it becomes larder
our hands holding tight
till we lose our sight
our love blooms like a spring flower
till winter makes us cower
our passion knows no bounds
till it’s killed by the hungry hounds
our lives ebb and flow
till the fires no longer glow
our spirits soar
Nothing can kill it’s roar
our souls are a mystery
therein lies our history
it can’t be changed
it lasts forever
it was hard to become soft again
it was not easy turning it up
but here (hear) I am
ears in your hands
still I fear
for every time
I hold dear
I can’t hear
sing that song again
the one we heard
a long long time ago
i want to feel that way
with you
let me hear
New Beginnings
