"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.

So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads saying
Breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it
But, if it's a broken heart then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way

And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
mmmhmm

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything, everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Yeah everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling? (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)

If you’re shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

Sitting on my doorstep what do I see
Tucked carefully in the corner a parcel for me
I quickly opened the door stepped outside and looked round
Not a soul was in sight and I heard not a sound
I gazed at the parcel and wondered who
Who leave this here and what ever was I to do
The parcel was wrapped in bright paper and ribbon adorned
I wonder was this delivered this morn?
Closer i I crept up to the parcel with delight
Enjoying the beauty of it's sight
Atop the parcel was a card to be read
I carefully opened it and read:
this parcel is meant for you tie true
A token of appreciation for all you do
From angels watching high aboveYou can't see
Might it bless you and make you merry
Quickly I snatched up the parcel with glee
Made haste to go inside
so that I could see
What. Ever is inside
the parcel I have no clue
Open it and look inside is what I should do
Carefully I started. To unwrap the paper. Remove ribbons bright
Then slowly lifted out a box shut tight
A velevet ribbon dropped on the floor with something shiny
I stooped to look and found it was a key
It opened the box andas I lifted the lid
I started dancing around as if I was a kid
For tucked inside the box a gift so dear
A book filled with loving words for me to hear
I opened up the cover and read them silently
Then spoke them into the air g setting them free
Words precious and true graced myears and eyes
Like the break of a new day graces the skies
I smiled and pondered on all I read
And let it deeply sink in to my head
I danced and skipped and did frolic feeling free and new
And basked.

Eyes closed and and curled tight
in this cocoon protected from light
In stillness I wait and wonder what I will be
When I break forth into a new reality
Will I long for the darkness and the night
When the dawn comes and I see the light
Will I cringe, drawback and hide
Or let this new light be my guide
Ambivalent thoughts dance 'round in my mind.
Shall I cling to what was or leave it behind
Will I long for what I had what was and is no more
Or will I accept what is new to my very core
A sudden shaking enters my world and I wonder
As a sound echoes in my ears like thunder
And piercing through the dark I suddenly see
Pure bright light that instantly blinds me
Shielding my eyes and rising to stand
I sense a newness sweeping across the land
I stand and slowly uncover my eyes
And much to my delight and surprise
The beauty of the light is beyond believing
I stand,yes stand and accept what I am receiving
My eyes wide open and with boldness I embrace
The beauty of this moment this energizing place
A smile on my face visibly shows all
With strength and purpose I will stand tall
welcoming this newness to the depths of my soul
Grateful for the light that has made me whole ]]> Turbochica http://www.addforums.com/forums/blog.php?b=1578 Walking With My Sistah http://www.addforums.com/forums/blog.php?b=1576 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:43:26 GMT I walked along side my sistah who was in a fix you see I Listened to her dilemma as she shared it with me And the burden that she was bearing touched my heart It was hard to bear like a heavy laden cart It weighed her down and dulled her smile It made her linger in thoughts not worthwhile... I walked along side my sistah who was in a fix you see
I Listened to her dilemma as she shared it with me
And the burden that she was bearing touched my heart
It was hard to bear like a heavy laden cart
It weighed her down and dulled her smile
It made her linger in thoughts not worthwhile
And my privilege was to come along side
Offer her encouragement, be her guide
For once I bore a burden like this in another time and place
I was weighed down and slowed in my pace
a friend true and dear stood with me then
And helped me bear my burden and live again
And now it is my turn to do the same for my sistah dear
And bring hope, love and some cheer
I gently spoke to her and. Meet her in her sadness
Hoping that her tears will soon change to gladness.
I walked beside her through this rough spot with prayer
And loved my sistah and remind her of one who always cares ]]> Turbochica http://www.addforums.com/forums/blog.php?b=1576 Another learning experience.... http://www.addforums.com/forums/blog.php?b=1567 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 09:22:30 GMT supposedly an opportunity for growth... no.. it's just a small event in the sea of mistakes...

Walking between the day and the night , During the evening cool while the day is young. There is no time, there is no distance, there is no place I would rather be.

I have been but now I become that which is to be me. Not bound by servitude to the past nor do I worry over what is yet to be . In this moment is all I have which is enough for me.

In the here and now I stand , for always , for now and forever. What is past is no longer present and the future is meant to be. For the first time in my life I step into a world that I actually understand. I no longer fear the knowing inside of me.

I take a hold of this offer of a life, this is a chance to be free, Tears of relief washes over me.

Fear has lead me for oh so long, I had forgotten the heaviness that came along with holding onto others ideas of what is right and what is wrong. I left that life of unworthiness and returned to them the notion of never being good enough for their redemption

I bury my fears in a hole I dug in the Earth, I let presumptions go in the wind . To the water that flows I give it my burden of self inflicted strife, once I had done this all I had left for fire was the practice that isn’t me. In exchange the elements returned to me my life.

I walk the shadows between life and death, I live without morals or emotions of regret.

I live as I was meant to be , free from the bondage what could of should have would have had over me. I walk in the realm of not dark , not light – I know who and what I am.

I am shadow walker whose direction is the freedom to be.

This is The Path of the Feather

Entering tranqulity's sleep filled glade
I stir from slumbers sweetest dreams
And reach for you and gently lean
Against your body warm and long
Loving arms enfold 'round me hearts join in song
A song That echoes in tender touches of thy finger tips
Followed by warm kisses from thy soft lips
Let's linger together here in affections sweet hold
As the beauty and depth of our love unfolds
I see the sparkle in your soft eyes
That matches the breadth and beauty of the skies
I hear the beating of your heart, feel thy chest rise and fall
As In your arms I respond to loves clear call
Wrapped in your radiating warmth all my defenses are gone
As our bodies join in this glorious song
together as one and as one we do see
The magnificence of our loves harmony
Safe, secure and loved I feel. Yes I do
When I am alone here with you
Let the peace and love we share shine from within

(Eating in the Light of the Moon)

Imagine yourself standing in the rain on the bank of a raging river. Suddenly, the water-swollen bank gives way. You fall in and find yourself being tossed around in the rapids. Your efforts to keep afloat are futile and you are drowning.
By chance, along comes a huge log and you grab it and hold on tight. The log keeps your head above water and saves your life. Clinging to the log you are swept downstream and eventually come to a place where the water is calm. There, in the distance you see the riverbank and attempt to swim to shore. You are unable to do so, however, because you are still clinging to the huge log with one arm as you stroke with the other. How ironic. The very thing that saved your life is now getting in the way of your getting where you want to go. There are people on the shore who see you struggle and yell, “Let go of the log!” But you are unable to do so because you have no confidence in your ability to make it to shore.

And so, very slowly and carefully, you let go of the log and practice floating. When you start to sink, you grab back on. Then you let go of the log and practice treading water, and when you get tired, hold on once again. After a while you practice swimming around the log once, twice, ten times, twenty times, a hundred times, until you gain the strength and confidence you need to swim to shore. Only then do you completely let go of the log. ]]> livinginchaos http://www.addforums.com/forums/blog.php?b=1549 bummed http://www.addforums.com/forums/blog.php?b=1540 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 07:54:44 GMT Its 12:43....
