Change can be a good thing sometimes
I think we need to be willing
To step outside of our own comfort levels
To really challenge ourselves
And to accept change
And alter ourselves where necessary
Change is coming
The world is changing
Every second
Moving quicker
Ever faster toward a new
Ever changing
Ever approaching horizon
Are you ready?

Everything rusts
Everything decays
Entropy at work
The never ending decay of time
Nothing lasts forever
Everything returns to the Earth eventually
Even we are temporary
We are born
And then we begin to age
To decay until our final moments
When we return back to the Earth
We must accept this
Because if we live our lives trying not to age
Trying to beat time
Worrying about the time that has gone by
We will not be able to accept life
If we can't accept that at some point
We all age
We all die
It's just a natural part of living
You can't worry too much about it
When it's your time
You will go
You don't have much control over that
But what you can control
Is how to live your life while you are still alive
And live it to the fullest
Without fear
Without doubt
Moving forward in courage and love
And trying to spread that courage and love
To others as well

Running Away
Can seem easy
Running Away
Can seem like
The best option
It can feel like
Running away
Is the only sane option
The only thing
That seems right
There are times
When we must face
Fight, and battle
Your inner demons
Fight not flight
Fighting against
Injustices
That happen
Everyday
Fight for peace
Fight for love
Fight for life
We have to be
Willing to fight
The only thing
We should never fight
Is ourselves
It can be easy
To fight ourselves
While running
From the world
It should be the opposite
We should be
Embracing ourselves
And fighting
For the people
And a world
That needs
Fighting for
Everyday

The lord is with us always. Even when we fall we are only a prayer and a whisper away from Gods great grace and mercy. We are all loved. We just have to accept that. God wants us to be in his presence. He wants to give us that joy and healing and love. We just have to ask and we shall receive. The problem is that we convince ourselves we are not worthy of God's love. Whether it be because of the mistakes we have made in the past or the things we convince ourselves about God and his nature that pull us farther away from God. We get so caught up on thinking we have to be perfect that we can also draw away when we feel we have fallen or sinned before God and we want to hide ourselves from God and from our shame. Ultimately God wants to give us that love and that healing and joy. He loves all of his children. Once you accept that in your heart and you begin to accept God's love in your life you will begin to see and to understand things a lot differently and you will understand just how beautiful and truly unique you are in his eyes. We are all beautiful creations. We all have our own places in the sun. We all come from the same loving source.

There is a force
An undeniable
Power and energy
That flows through
Everything on the
Earth and in the
Universe as we
Watch our lives
Roll out in front
Of of us this force
Comes from the
Darkness and
Lights the way
For us when we
Are at our most
Lowest point
Love flows
Through the
Earth and In
Everything
We all have
This healing
And loving
Force inside
Of us and
When we
Give in to
This love
And that
Wonderful
Healing
Force and
Light that
Permeates
Your very
Soul and
Permeates
Every atom
Of the universe
You will come
To understand
The greatest
Force and power
Is love divine
When you give
Yourself over
To this force
Of the universe
You will come
To understand
Everything and
Life will begin
To take on a
Whole new
Beauty and
Hope and
Meaning as
You begin to
See this life
Giving force
And love in
Everything
And everyone

Life spring up from everywhere
You can't stop the flow of life
Life is in the most unexpected
Of places if you know where
To look you will find that life
Is harder to extinguish or to
Control than we might have
Originally anticipated
Everything in the universe
Leans toward life and birth
Just as death and darkness
Can seem to overcome us
Sometimes life is still
Much harder to ****
Or to get rid of than we
Might know or anticipate
We must learn to flow
With life and let life spring
Naturally instead of trying
To recreate life artificially
Learning to trust in nature
And life instead of trying
To control or change it
To suit our whims and needs
I think we will find that if
We just allow nature to take
Its course we will be a lot
Better off than if try and
Control or manipulate it

That spark that inside of us.
That creativity that lies in all of us
No matter what, we all have this spark inside of us
That spark that connect us together
That creative spark that leads the way
We are meant to live in joy
Expressing ourselves fully
Sharing our gifts and our creative sparks with each other
Allowing ourselves to share ourselves with others
And allowing ourselves to let go of fear
Tap into that part of yourself
That creativity
That part of you who knows who you are
Where you have been
And what you are meant to do
And being able to share that openly with others
Instead we shield ourselves
We judge ourselves and others
And we tell people that they shouldn't express themselves
And to fully express their dreams
And their artistic potential'
To punch into the grind of material living
To grow up
Stop being a kid
To **** that spark inside of you
But we all have it
Once you have found it
Never let anyone **** that creative spark in you
Allow yourself to live in joy
And to share that gift and yourself with others
Allowing yourself to be open with others
And having that heart of a child
That takes joy in each moment

The earth is a place of magnificent beauty
It's a place of wonder incomprehensible
Our beautiful mother sustains us all
Our beautiful pearl in the milky way
Perfectly positioned
So that we may live
And so that we may thrive
And learn
There are a lot of things
That people do
To harm the Earth
And to harm our mother
But she loves us all the same
Even with the wars
Even with the diseases
The poverty
The ignorance
And even with the pain
That comes from living
And growing
The earth still supports us just the same
In her loving embrace
So we should start loving the Earth
A little more
And caring a little less about war
And violence
And ignorance
And start paying
A little more attention
To the Earth
Our mother
Because she wants to heal
And sing
We just have to start listening

Everything in life has meaning
Even your life matters
Everything in the universe
Has a great design and purpose
From the smaller atom
To the biggest star
Everything matters
We have to see the bigger picture
To truly find meaning
Not only for our own lives
But for everything else inbetween

Our hearts are free
We are free when we
Set out to be in our
Souls and hearts

We tend to chain and
Restrict ourselves and
Not seeing our true
Worth and beauty

We tend to lie to
Ourselves and tell
Ourselves of things
That aren't true

We are whole and
Beautiful in our
Own ways and
Our hearts know

The truth to be
Free with our
Hearts and minds
And souls is just there

Waiting below the
Surface and letting
Us know we can
Let go of all of the

Things that burden
Us and keep us from
Seeing ourselves as
We truly are

Action speaks louder than words
We are so quick
To put something off
Not truly dealing with
The heart of the issue

I see life
In your eyes
I see truth
Hidden there
I see love
Written
All over
Your face
I can see you
I know you
Are there
Watching
Knowing
Talking to me
Comforting me
Guiding me
As I move
Through life

We are all influenced
In different ways
Whether they be subtle
Or whether they are blatant
Leaving permanent changes
We are all subject
To the influences
That make up who we are

Thinking
Can sometimes
Get me in trouble
Thinking
Can be the thing
That gets in the way
Of the feeling
But sometimes
I have to let go
And just allow myself to feel

When I think about the events to unfold
When I start to think about the future
When I hear stories about our impending doom
When I hear about what could or might happen
On December in 2012
I don't feel panicked
I don't even feel worried
I almost feel a calm acceptance
Of what needs to be
Whether the doomsday prophecies come true
Whether nothing happens at all
Just another day passing by like any other
I know that there are a lot of experts
That have a lot of opinions
Some people say that there will be a massive solar flare
That will come in december
That will wipe out our communications
That will reverse our pole
And that might cause untold havoc on the human population
Some people say that Nibiri is going to pass by
And that it will cause untold catastrophe when it passes
There are even some people who feel like we might go through
A world war three
And that we might end it all by a nuclear strike
Some people feel like the earth might slip on it's axis
Some people even believe that aliens might come down
To take the people that are chosen
And leave the rest of the people behind
To endure the worst of the storm
To take them away
To populate some other planet
Some people even believe that the rapture will happen
And that it will bring upon the returning of Christ
And the impending apocalypse to come
I know that I am actually looking forward to what might happen
It might just be the adventurous side of me
But I am almost waiting and anticipating
To see exactly what might happen
I think I might be a little disappointed
If nothing happened at all
The Earth needs a break
She needs time to rest
This is part of our history
Everything happens in great cycles
Great advanced civilizations rise
Only to be laid down again
And for something new to be laid in it's wake
Making room for new advancements
We need to be conscious of this
So that we can move forward
So that we don't get left behind when the new wave hits us
Because I have a feeling that when it does
It will hit us like a brick
The change will be sudden
And some people might get swallowed up
In that very first moment
But it's just paving the way for the new
More wonderful things to come

Our Mother is a site to behold. A beautiful blue pearl shining in the vastness of space. She is filled with life as she gives forth from her bounty and riches to all of the creatures and the creations on the Earth, The tree of life is written in everyone of her creations. We all came from the same motherly source. We all carry that life giving flame inside of us. It is written in our DNA and in our hearts. We can not deny our Mother. She is too important to waste. We must protect her at all costs to ensure our own survival. We have to listen to the cries of our Mother and heed her call. She is always there with open arms to share her motherly love to all who show her a little love back but she still loves all of her creations just the same.

There are some things in this world
That can't be explained
Life's little inconsistencies
That seems to plague us
Sometimes it can feel like
The world is upside down
It can get easy to get caught up
Living in inconsistencies
Moving away from the reality
Living our lives backwards
Not really understanding
Exactly where we are supposed to be
But when you start to line yourself up
And once you start to understand
That life shouldn't be forfeit for pride
For greed
For power
For personal gain
Out of anger
Out of fear
Out of ignorance
People are living lost
Moving backwards
From where they should be
Harming themselves
And often others in the process
But we must learn to live in reality
And step away from the inconsistencies
That cloud us from where we should be

Little green men
Have invaded our television
Visions of aliens from mars
Instead of sugar plums
Dance through our head
Threatening our sanity
Causing hysteria
There are little green men
On the television
Sometimes I think all of those crazy politicians
And officials might be little green men themselves
Disguised as humans
To hide their existence
But I shouldn't think too loudly
The little green men might come after me.

How beautiful you are
You are the master
Of transformation
Bringing on a new life
Bringing joy and
Inspiration to
Everyone who sees
You fly in the sky
So ethereal and so free
Flying above the
Trials of life
Teaching us
What it truly means
To transform and
To emerge
Completely
Different
Completely
Beautiful
Shedding
Our whole
Selves in the
Process of life
Reaching for
Newer heights
Newer joy
Transforming
From moment
To moment
Living for
Physical death
To be reborn
Into the ethereal
Taking flight
On your wings
Of strength
And of hope
Teaching us
What strength
And transformation
Truly looks like
In such a small
And fragile creature
Fly little butterfly
Fly free on the winds
Of change as you
Fly into the sky
Ever higher and
More free than
You have ever been

Rising
Soaring
Floating
Above everything
Rising above the pain
Rising above your past
Rising above all the things
That keep you from letting go
Finding yourself
Connecting to that healing
Light filled part of yourself
Letting go of everything
That grounds you
That holds you
That keeps you from floating
From flying
From soaring
Let go of the baggage of the world
And take on the wings of spirit
Give in to that lighter
Happier
More forfilled part of yourself
That will help you float
And rise above the trials
That will try to
Bring you back down again
Rise
Soar
Its easier to let go
Than you might think

Sometimes you have to hit the floor
Hit the bottom
Find humility
Sometimes you have to know
What it truly is to fall
Before you can fly
When life hits you hard
It can really feel like hitting a wall
Smacking into life
Full force
But its at these times
When we can truly find ourselves
In the pain
We can still find ourselves
In the dark
Finding our way
Even when the world
Is falling around us

Love comes effortlessly
When we least expect it
Opening up our hearts
In whole new ways
Allow the love to shine through
Don't let love pass you by

I am the sky and the moon and everything in between. I am the great creator. I am the spirit inside your soul. I am in you. We are altogether one in me. More parts making up one whole. Even part of I and we have worth. Nothing works without the one but nothing works without us and we and everything in between. Even we are separate we are one. Many separate yet unique parts making up the whole.

More out of life
More out of love
More out of peace
More out of grace
More out of spirit
More out of Earth
More out of joy
More out of
Those peaceful
Quiet moment in
Your soul when you
Know you are complete
And you are exactly where
You need to be at all times and
When you can feel the Earth and our
Mother and spirit flowing through every
Pour of your existence until you get
To that point in yourself where
You can accept that you
Are able to have
More peace
More grace
You are ready
To be whole
We are all
Craving for
That oneness
Connecting
With the
Common
Collective
We call
Humanity
In loving
Peaceful
Ways

Trees are amazing
Living sentinels
They protect us
Whispering
Hidden knowledge
To those who
Are willing to listen
Giving us shade
Air to breathe
Offering life
Wherever they plant
Holding each other up
Supporting each other
And everything around them
We should all learn
To take more after trees
And revere them
For the amazing
Life giving
Sentinels of the forrest
Instead of cutting them down

Robotic
Cold
Calculating
Lacking life
We can become robotic
In life
Forgetting what its like
To be human
To live
Becoming cold
Losing our emotions
Shutting out
Any emotion
That might
Cloud our minds
Open up your emotions
Don't be afraid to live
And let yourself
Be human
Every once in a while

Feeling the groove
Feeling life's beat
Feeling the flow
Feeling like I have to move
Feeling it in my toes
Feeling it my soul
Feeling like I just want to let go
Let go of the world
Hold on to the beat
My feet hit the street
Moving in unison
The beat of the street
Resounding in me
I can feel the flow
The flow of life
Moving through my veins
Flowing in my heart
Beating and throbbing
I feel the bass
The bass of the world
The people
Everything around me
Coalescing into one beat
Moving me as I run
As my soul runs a
To the sound of the drums

Beauty
Comes from
Inside our souls
Springing from inside
Sharing the beauty
With everyone
Sharing peace and love
Beauty
Springs up from our hearts
Casting love and light
Wherever beauty goes
Touching people
With grace and mercy
Extending the beauty
And their hearts
To whoever they meet

We are all stained
We are all trying to remove the blemishes
Remove the scars
Remove the dark part of our pasts
The dark part of ourselves
We are all stained in our own ways
Things that make us wonder
If we will ever get clean again
If we can ever become whole
If we can ever become pure
Free of stains
Free of hurt
Free of pain
Free of the things
That make us question ourselves
If we are really where we are supposed to be
We all have our stains
They can cloud our eyes
Make us feel *****
Make us feel like we can never truly be clean
That we will just have to live the rest of our lives feeling unclean
Feeling stained
Feeling damaged
Feeling lost
Feeling alone
Ostracizing ourselves more and more
Feeling more and more cut off from others and from ourselves
But we all have our stains
There is no reason to hide
We all have those moments
When we feel unclean
And like we can never be whole
And like we are standing out in the rain all alone
But it's through life's trials
That we are able to learn and to grow
And slowly but surely remove some of the stains
And replace them with a more whole
And fresh
And clean you

Life is a highway
We just have to keep moving
Making our way home

Once in a while
It can get hard to smile
Every once in a while
It can get hard to breath
Every once in a while
It can be easy to think about giving up
Every once in a while
You just want  to be free
Free from the weight
Free from the pain
Free from the guilt
Freedom from the shame
Every once in a while
You have to take time for yourself
And to just let it all go
Let go of the hurt
The pain
The shame
And the guilt
And just live day by day
Trying to become a slightly better person
Than you were the day before

I am at that fork in the road
Where I can go one way
Or I can go the other
The way isn't clear
There are multiple options that I can go
Neither one seems certain
I know that I can't spend too much time
Sitting and wondering which way I should go
Or else I will sit here in indecision
Never making a move
Staying in place
But if I am too hasty
I might just make a mistake
Having to backtrack
Turning around
When I could have picked the right choice
In the first place
Sometimes the fork in the road
Is life's way of moving us
Shaking us from our current trajectory
To move on to the next chapter

Rays of light
Suspended in space
Rays of light that float through time
These rays of light are in our hearts
Connecting us through time and space
We are all rays of light
Propagating through space
Interacting with each other
In different ways
Interacting with each other
So that we create this chaotic mess
That somehow has a beautiful order
And when you step back and look at it all
You start to realize just how beautiful
Our rays of light really are

Complete and whole we are all complete and whole. We are all born with everything we evert need as we move forward in life. Learning to navigate life as we continue to add to ourself as we go along. Sometimes these things we add will only weigh us down as we try to make it through another day and there are somethings we lose along the way but ultimately we are all complete and perfect in God's eyes. He truly sees our potential and he loves to remind us of how beautiful, whole, and complete. We all really are in our own way.

Love for sale
I have love for sale
Its a little used
But its good love
All the same
I have love for everyone
One size fits all
Catch the bargain
While its still around
Everybody is trying to sell their love
Everybody has love for sale
Everyone is looking to buy some love
But sometimes
What glitters
Is not always gold
You have to be careful
When you sell your love
Who you sell it to
You even have to be careful
About who you buy your love from as well
But if you are looking to buy a little extra love
I have a little bit of extra love
To go around

Blessed Mother
Blessed Father
Divine love
Flowing
Through
The spirit
Spirit
That resides
Spirit that dwells
Connect us
To that inner well
That inner knowledge
Connecting us
To the Earth
Connecting us
To each other
Connecting us
To the healing
Loving
Powerful
Energy
That flows
All around us

Lights out
Good night
The sun has set
The night time hour
Has descended upon us
The night has come
The lights are gone
Lost in the night
When the lights first go out
It can be hard to see
Sometimes we can stumble along
Not knowing where we need to go
Tripping over and stumbling
Over any obstacle in our way
After a while
Our night vision kicks in
And we start to see farther
The night starts getting brighter
The obstacles in our way
Become more clear
We get to the point
Where we can navigate
Through the night
With relative ease
Life is a lot like
Switching the lights off
When things are the brightest
Some time we can stumble along
Not really knowing
Which way we should be going
Tripping over every obstacle
That trips us up
Or that falls in our way
But its once we have been in the dark
For a little bit of time
When we start to become
More adept at navigating the night
Learning to trust our night vision
Trusting our instincts instead of our eyes
Learning to trust the inner primal knowing
That guides you through those dark ravines
That guides you through those dark points
Learn to trust that night vision
That inner knowing
The inner faith
That will lead you through
The darkest night
When the light go out

Everything has its own spirit
Everything on this earth sings
Breathes
Lives in its own way
The spring of life
Gushing forth
Bringing animation to everything

The edge of eternity
Lies between the future
The present
And the past
Floating elusively
Just out of our grasp
The more you try and hold on
The more it will elude you
Until you have to resign yourself
That to truly comprehend
The enormity that is eternity
You have to let go
And tap into that old intuitive part of yourself
That just knows and perceives
We all have all the knowledge
All of the information we ever need
We just need to know where to look
We just have to look inside of ourselves
To find where the edge of eternity lies
Its hidden in our minds
Its hidden in our hearts
It's just waiting to be unleashed

Christmas is this thing
It's an enigma
There are many converging factors
That make this time of year equally hopeful
But equally stressful and plastic
Giving unrealistic ideas
That  can drive some people to poverty and insanity
Within a mere week
Sometimes within a day
I think the thing that makes this particular holiday special
Is the offering of hope and good will that it is supposed to stand for
Yet it's also the time of year when we are told that we must spend our money
Buy that big screen t.v.
Buy your hope
Go broke trying to buy our penance
Spending money to wash away the guilt
To feel like we have actually given something
To somehow feel like we can make up
For all the other times we didn't give
Or make up for the distance we have with our families
And somehow make up for all the times we weren't there.
And we somehow feel entitled to receive these gifts
And some people will actually feel mad
Even angry if no one gives them a gift on Christmas
Whether they have been naughty or nice
And then there are the people who are left out in the cold
Who have no family
No loved ones
No gifts
No hope
Who feel even more estranged
And lost
And forgotten during this time
But even with that said
There is still a kernel of goodness and wisdom
To spreading good will to all men
And trying to spread hope and faith
For your fellow man
And trying to give just because we can
Instead of trying to receive something in return
I think that we need to imbue these qualities all year
Instead of trying to simply focus on them
When the holiday times comes
Giving to people just because you can
And sharing that empathy and good will
And showing people that you care
Just because you can
I think that if we were all to take these lessons to heart
We would all be a little better off

It seems like life is interesting
You want to do your best
You want to know that you are making some sort of difference
That your life has some purpose
It can be hard sometimes
When it seems like one thing happens after another
It can get easy to get stuck in a rut
And to think that we can never do better
Than the position that we are in right now
It is very easy to let the world
Especially ourselves
Convince us that our lives are just one big mistake
Whether it be financial, physical, emotional
Whatever seems to be standing in our way
Its very easy to take that in
And to start believing that where you are
Is just where you are supposed to be
That there isn't really anything you can do
You just have to keep going along
Not really feeling
Just allowing life to bowl over us
To feel like things are just becoming more overwhelming
Going through life feeling like you are going from one crisis to the next
Never truly being able to move forward
Getting stuck in the mud
And not being able to come up for air
But I feel even though it seems like a lot of people are going through their trials
That as long as you are moving forward
Working to become a better person
Trying to make a difference
Healing the things that you need to in your life
Making the changes that you need to make
To get to that better point in yourself
Even though things might seem hard
As long as you are trying to get to a better place
You are actively trying to help and heal yourself
As long as you are trying to help other people in the process
You are doing ok
You can move forward with pride
Knowing that you are moving
And coming more into the light

Gather happiness wherever you can
Gather happiness in your heart
That way when the storm of life hits you
You will have a store of happiness
To protect you through the storm
Gather the joy
Gather it in your heart
And make sure to gather happiness
For all those
Who could use a little more happiness
Themselves

Every once in a while
I forget myself
I forget where I have been
And what I have been through
To get me where I am
I think its very easy
Every once in a while
To forget just how far we have come
Just how much we have grown
And just how hard we have strived
To make it to where we are right now

Conversations
In your mind
Playing out
Clouding
Your thoughts
A mile a minute
Conversations
Playing
Through your mind
Keeping you from peace
Not allowing you
To center
To find that quiet place
That refuge inside your mind
When the world comes stumbling in
Threatening your peace
Keeping you from getting sleep
Sometimes these conversations
Can seem so real
It can feel
Like these conversations
That incessant chatter
Just won't stop
Sometimes
Those thoughts in your head
Can become so constant
That you start to believe
That the thoughts
And the feelings
And the voices in your head
Are actually real
And you can begin to believe
The negative things
That keep playing through
Your mind
Sometimes
You have to separate yourself
From your thoughts
Learning to switch your thoughts
Switch your perspectives
So that you can begin to separate
The thoughts inside your head
And begin listening to
That calm inner voice
That encourages
That guides
That offers
Peace
Quiet
Calm
That lets you know
That you are beautiful
That you are
Exactly where
You should be

There is an order to everything
An underlying factor
That rules everything
We need to get back in order
So that we can start living together
Living in order with the Earth
Instead of trying to subjugate and tame it
Learning from the ancient wisdoms
And taking care of our mother
And taking care of ourselves
Paying attention to the natural order
Instead of forcing our artificial way of life
Unto each other and this planet
Our mother wants to be free
Free to breathe
To live in balance
Everything has a balance
Everything has a natural order
We have to be willing to live alongside
Our brothers and sisters
Living in order with each other
Living in order with ourselves
Accepting ourselves
Accepting our natural order in the world

Wading through
The daily grind
Can be tiresome
We want to float
Floating above the world
High in the sky
Away from the troubles
Above ourselves
Its so easy
To get stuck wading
Through the muck
Getting caught up
In the world
And our troubles
And ourselves

My life is crazy
Life is crazy
Chaotic
The more
You try to
Analyze
The more
Life will show
Just how
Out of
Control
Random
Chaotic
Life can be
Just when
You think
You have
A handle
Life has a way
Of throwing
In a little bit
Of randomness
So you must
Be ready
Embrace the random
Embrace the chaos
When you do
You will start
To see
The crazy order
In all of
The random
Chaos

Silence
Can speak
Volumes
We have
To break
The silence
When it comes
To some things
There are some
Things
In this world
We can't
Be silent about
We have to
Speak out
Speak out
For the people
Who don't
Have a voice
Break the silence
For the ones
Who aren't able
To articulate
Their needs
Or articulate
Their pain
The people
In the dark
Who are searching
Searching to find
Themselves
In a world
That seems
So cold
Lonely
Barren
Devoid
Of life
Love
Hope
Living
In darkness
We must speak
Break the silence
For we can't stay
Silent
Any longer
We have to speak
We can't just stay still
Any longer
The world
Needs people
Who are willing
To speak
Break the silence

Darkness rises
When we least expect it
Darkness rises
It can feel like a cloak
Heavy and cold
Choking us
Smothering
Choking out the light
It can feel like
The light has gone out for good
You can start to wonder if you will ever
Feel that light again
If you will ever feel that peace
It can be easy
To lose faith
To wonder if God even cares
If he has forsaken you
You must endure
The darkness never lasts forever
Joy and light
Are waiting in the morning

Our souls reach out
We all want to live
We all want to grow
Even when things seem the darkest
Our souls and hearts reach for life
But we must be able to accept death
Learning to live without fear of living
And learning to enrich death
As you continue to die
Little by little
Changing yourself
Dying over and over
As your soul continues
To thrive.
