Are you done
Wth the fun
Run

Do you have a clue
What is the matter with you
Where to?
What are you running from
What will be the outcome
Run

Just because you can
Your a scared man
Where to?
Where are you running to
Run

Run
To someone
To anyone
Where to?
Where are you running to

You have begun
Toward the sun
Where to ?
Where are you running to
Away

What do you say
Where to ?
Where will you run to
This love grew
I thought you knew
Now what will you do

Take off my running shoes

Dig Deeper

Do you ever stop and consider the depth and condition of your soul? What attitudes and dispositions do you allow to poison and lurk in there? Or do you fill it with the seeds of kindness and gentleness and service? We alone are responsible for our souls and what we give into this world. I’m not content to be a handsome tree that cannot nourish those around me with goodness, kindness and gentleness. All the degrees and diplomas hanging on my wall will not comfort a hurting heart. Being learned will not guarantee being wise. The depth of your soul is entirely up to you...dig deeper and find yourself for yourself!

Happy New Year beautiful people! I pray 2019 is a year of abundant success, peace and joy for each of you! I wish that you find the richest love for yourself and with others!

The girl who sees lions

The girl who sees lions

She was borne at dawn, in a tent, on a rooftop
Her moon like eyes reflected lightening the way mirrors brutally reflects imperfections
Her tiny hands had engraved palmar creases that spelled “strength”
Her smile was the rarest of sapphires and to dishonesty her heart was stealth
She grew up longing for the day she leaves her tent to face the world
Every night she goes to sleep to watch her dreams unfold
She dreams of lions speaking of fear
roaming around like clouds
A sword and a torch appear in her tiny hands
“I will defeat you” she says
But she wakes up! …
Only with warm tears blocking her eyesight … …
She used the torch to seal the tent closed
And the sword to cut herself a tiny window
From which she could look out
convincing herself that … this way … she can safely face the world!
So, she stays …
In the tent … on the rooftop …
