More Random Haikus!!

Blankets of sunshine
Shower over me with love
And I feel just fine

Time will always heal
Though time itself isn't real
Clock's turning the wheel

When the lightening strikes
The sky turns a purple shade
Illuminates night

Red robin perches
The breeze blows the white flowers
Sounds, scents, scenes, nature.

Laughing playfully
Remember your inner peace
Creativity

Focus energy
Breathing deeply with intent
Manifesting YOU

Everything flows
Flows through you and flows through me
Oneness energy

Strength, show me courage
Happiness, show me the light
You, show me your heart

The wind stings my cheek
And sends a chill down my spine
Hello there, Spirit

A Conglomeration of Haikus :)

Zen
You are beautiful
Green grass tickling my toes
And your button nose


This is what I see
Mirrors staring back at me
Everyone I meet

Reckless abandon
Fade into my darkness love
Such sweet surrender

Earth's only spirit
Spinning wild, spinning freely
Spinning into be

Butterflies are free
Always flying with the wind
Soaring merrily

Mistaken for sweet
Convoluted chaos source
Mystery unravel

Bitten off too much
Twirling down the rabbit hole
Face to face I see

My darkness empowers
Through its fog, I see your face
Alive but not free

Solace you endow
Leaking in my deepest thoughts
A striking light force

Beautifully forgotten
Alone but not yet fragile
Fill her heart with hope

Underestimate
Chaos whispers in my ear
The mystery's me

Embrace the warm air
Let it settle around me
And help me to dream

The waves crash on shore
Beginning again anew
Becoming water

The light is rising
Dawn brings forth the sun again
And we are all one

Intoxicating
Breathing spirit into mind
I'm awakening

I am the flower
Growing up from the Earth's dirt
Sparkling in the sun

Patience is painful
Bittersweet and virtuous
It is worth the wait

Invisible man,
Break down the walls that bind you
Come, let me find you

Rivers to walk on
Or perhaps mountains to move
Ordinary life

Good Quotes for the Week

 

The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that the warrior takes everything as a challenge while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or a curse. - Don Juan

 Failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying. - B F. Skinner

 

God made everything out of nothing. But the nothingness shows through -Paul Valery

Did you ever notice how difficult it is to argue with someone who is not obsessed with being right? - Wayne W. Dyer 

 

It is simple. We are where we should be, doing what we should be doing. Otherwise we would be somewhere else, doing something else.

“The world doesn't owe you anything. It was here first.” ~ Mark Twain 

The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself -Henry Miller 

 

Being nice, patient, responsible people does not make us door mats. Choosing to be the best people possible, regardless how others choose to behave, means we are in control of ourselves rather than simply being the puppet of our irresponsible ego. Ego is NOT capable of choosing our 'best' behavior. So being in control of our ego to create life with positive purpose actually makes us the powerful ones.

Even after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with
A love like that.
It lights the whole sky.
((((( Hafiz )))))
 

The Most Important Things I've Learned on my Spiritual Path

~ I don't have to be right. It doesn't matter who's right, it matters what's right.
~ My thoughts are not me. They encompass me, but they are not who I am. My mind is a perfect servant, but a lousy master. Although I live this life through my thoughts, I am so much more than that.
~ Judging is almost too easy, but sweet freedom really lies in just letting everything go.
~ We're never truly alone. If you're feeling lonely, go sit with the flowers or watch the trees waving their branches at you. They see you, they feel you, they smell you, they hear you. Don't forget The Spirit lives inside all of us and will comfort you anytime you experience loneliness.

Florence & the Machine

I saw these guys on So You Think You Can Dance this week, and let me just say, I became a fan instantly. Florence, the lead singer, has an amazing soul-filled voice, it's intoxicating. The drums, the harp, the whole ensemble was just spectacular. The video is also amazing, so I just had to share. Here is the youtube video, followed by the lyrics to the song that sent chills through my body the first time I heard it, Cosmic Love.





A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

My Friend, written today by me :)

I walk down the hall but the hallway doesn’t end

I try to catch up to my disappearing friend

Running through this maze, it fills my mind with worry

Knowing I’ll one day wake up from this enchanting story

Screaming only helps the battle within oneself to stall

Speech is simply useless unless it’s for the good of all

A silent breath to gain composure, gently take it in

It echoes louder than my screams to help me find my friend

In this darkness she will be my ever illuminating light

But she is still disappearing no matter how hard I fight

Attempting to reach her only pushes her far away

She wants me to surrender, but I just want her to stay

I try to let go of my fears and surround myself with love

It only takes a second and a door opens up above

I climb through the opening and stand before a mirror

And now I see my friend again, it’s never been any clearer

She waves to me from the other side, showing me she cares

I only caught a glimpse but now I know she’s always there

Alanis Always Knows What to Say :)

Something so benign for me construed as cruelty
Such a difference between who I am and who you see

Conclusions you come to of me routinely incorrect
I don’t know who you’re talking to with such fucking disrespect

This shit’s making me crazy
The way you nullify what’s in my head
You say one thing do another
And argue that’s not what you did
Your way’s making me mental
How you filter as skewed interpret
I swear you won’t be happy til
I am bound in a straight jacket

Talking with you’s like talking to a sive that can’t hear me
You fight me tooth and nail to disavow what’s happening

Your resistance to a mirror I feel screaming from your body
One day I’ll introduce myself and you’ll see you’ve not yet met me

This shit’s making me crazy
The way you nullify what’s in my head
You say one thing do another
And argue that’s not what you did
Your way’s making me mental
How you filter as skewed interpret
I swear you won’t be happy til
I am bound in a straight jacket

Grand dissonance
The strings of my puppet are cut
The end of an era
Your discrediting’s lost my consent

Quotes of the Week

One must be fond of people and trust them if one is not to make a mess of life. --E.M. Forster

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. --Unknown



All I can say tonight is, I am going to miss a good friend. I know in my heart I am a good, honest, loyal person, and those closest to me know it, and God of course knows it. So I mourn only for the loss of a friendship, which I thought may have had a chance. It is clear today too much anger and disillusions still resides in some. So I say goodbye, I wish you the best.
