Sometimes. . .  everyone seems normal,
until you get to know them,
                 . . .  we have to accept that not
every situation is a win, but every single one
is a learning experience,
                 . . . we have to realize that there are
far, far better things ahead, than any we
leave behind,
                 . . . it is the mind-forged handcuffs
that are the hardest to break.
                 . . . we will meet someone whose soul
is not aligned with ours, send them love
and move along,

Sometimes. . . the secret of change is to focus
all of our energy on the new, not on fighting the old,
                 . . . it is necessary to stretch outside our
comfort zone and expand our consciousness,
                 . . . we will find what we are looking for,
or maybe we won't.
                 . . . it's better to die on your feet than to
live on your knees,

Sometimes. . . we get distracted and we forget to look
at the most beautiful things in life,
                  . . . the distance between your dreams and
your reality is called action,
                 . . . it is a blessing and sometimes it is a curse
to feel everything so deeply,
                 . . . I am humble enough to know that I'm
not better than anybody and sometimes I am wise
enough to know that I'm different from the rest,
                 . . . we have to be our self in a world that is
constantly trying to make us something else.

Sometimes. . . we have to realize that no matter
who we are or what we have been through, we are
capable of finding peace,
                 . . . we have to realize that we will get there
when we are meant to get there, so we must relax,
breathe and be patient,
                 . . . comparing our self to others is a fools
game and will steal our joy and the only person that
we should compare our self to is the person
we were yesterday,
                 . . . 'later' often becomes 'never' so what are you
waiting for.                                                   Jon York      2014
