Self Trust

I'm leaving this dream of hell.

I'm breaking everything that kept me here.

I'm not responsible for anything you do or don't do.

I never was.

In The End

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

~ Martin Luther King

War or Civilization

Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education. Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both.


~ Abraham Flexner, US educator, 1866 -1959


Here is how much you owe for the education you haven't received from the civilization you don't live in.

Jewels

Emotions are the jewels of being human.

Tears not only express emotional pain; 

They also awaken the depths of your heart. 

Each emotional healing experience

Brings you closer to setting you

Free from the past, forever...

~ Michael Gach

The Great Warm Wave

Anger

When anger rises, think of the consequences.

~ Confucius 

Heroic Protagonist

Earth, For Now

When I die

I'm leaving this planet

and going to a better world

I absolutely believe it

I know the universe can do better than this

and I know I can find it

Words

Words are only painted fire; a look is the fire itself.

~ Mark Twain

Epicurus

Why should I fear death?

If I am, death is not.

If death is, I am not.

Why should I fear 

that which cannot exist 

when I do?

Reality

I want to find the best reality I can.

This isn't it.

Spring Heat = Global Warming?

Departure

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go. 


~ Tennessee Williams

First Light

Your hearts know in silence

the secrets of the days and nights.

But your ears thirst for the sound

 of your heart's knowledge.

You would know in words

that which you have always known in thought.

You would touch with your fingers

the naked body of your dreams.

~ Kahlil Gibran

Ready To Go

The wind, one brilliant day, called.

~ Antonio Machado

Actions

My actions are my only true belongings.

I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.

~ Buddha

Less Is More

Wounded You

sad and holy friend

angry and in pain

suffering breaks your soul

and makes you cry

wounded you

burns beside me

there's no shame

because you're real
