Love yourself;
Take care of yourself;
Accept yourself;
Have gratitude to yourself.
I just wanna tell everyone to just be you, accept yourself for who you are and love yourself.
SiouxF Oct 2020
All that’s needed
Is two little words of
Thoughtful appreciation
And
Acknowledgement
To show that you noticed
That I took the time to care.
So valued in their receiving
And so excruciatingly lacking  
In their absence

Or is that just me?

In a splash of sunlight through window panes,
we watch in grace together
Bright green eyes, light up my mind
I wish to gaze upon them

I watch her walk around me
Everything, she appreciates
I admire her world of wisdom
Teaching me to have space
Written about Aggi, a beautiful angel of a cat. Teaching me every day to appreciate what I've got.

Allowing the story to be told
Along the spiral path of time
Deeper and deeper along the blooms of the rose
You keep unfolding
Coming home to yourself
the dance beckons you further
asking for your honesty, vulnerability, humility
Be brave, take the first step, journey to the bridge between the finite and infinite
to the dark fertile void of possibilities into the light of their existence
An embodiment of creation
Feeling more alive within every fold of emotion, every texture, every taste on the spectrum, every sound imaginable, smells like a field of wildflowers tickling your senses simultaneously encompassing their juxtaposition
whole and complete unto themselves
No labels
What it means to be human
To feel so deeply yet be prone to numbness
To be exposed to the elements yet have a compass to find your way back to the beating anchor that guides you
The infinite love that animates you
Allowing the story to unfold
Not always doing what you're told
Not knowing what that even is then welcoming clarity like the brightest sunrise after the darkest hour
Sometimes lost then found anew
Learning how to tell the difference between resonance and dissonance
And the balance that helps it all make sense
Using a little of each, sparingly, carefully, distilling beauty from the crazy cacophony
So many paths leading to the same destination yet only one rings true at a time
Surrendering to the wisdom
Innate, embodied
the dance goes on to a different tune
Are you willing to explore?
Do you have a hunger for more?
What drives this desire?
An unexplainable longing to be among the possibilities
A chance, an attempt, a try
Unprecedented perhaps that's why
Co-creating something new
A different perspective
A fresh point of view
Journeying within to see that you are a cosmic reflection of all that is wanting to know itself as your life, reflected back as me
Reflections in a lake
We are all mirrors for each other
Beauty unbounded
Words are limited in describing this
You merely scratch the surface of your experience
Yet they propel you like guides to the unseen realms
To see without eyes
To hear without ears
Following the music of your soul
Answer the call
Here and Now
What will you discover?
I've met so many people,
Seen so many faces
Yet here I am
Sitting by the tree
All alone,
Often Pondering
What life would have been?
Had I not cut off
People who reminded me of
Simpler and happier times,
Singing together
To the tunes that barely rhymed,
Had I not cut off
The things that always seemed so real,
And some feelings that I tried to conceal.
But here I am
Learning to be happy,
Even if it seems sloppy
Maybe God's watching over me,
As I walk along my path carefree
Maybe I was playing with my sanity,
Just by sleeping in the arms of destiny.
Will I be happy about being selfish?
Or is treading the longer path towards gratitude something I'd relish?

What you exhale, we inhale,
a transaction that costs nothing
but one that keeps us living.

We have been busy exploiting,
So keep forgetting
that life cannot exist without you.

This forgetfulness could end us,
but you will rise from the ashes again
to nurture life in the future.
Its time now or else it will be too late for humans. Each and everyone must show their gratitude to the natural world and live in harmony with it.

Hello cosmos,
I ask for forgiveness
for every act of compulsiveness.

Ocean to Sun:

My Sun- You fill my soul and heart with bliss,
Life inside me blooms with your gentle kiss!
My Sun-  You are means for my existence,
To nourish me you have voyaged a great distance!!

Sun to Ocean:

My Ocean- Your restlessness marks your splendor,
And your stillness have no contender!
My Ocean- You are a true reminisce of being alive,
You teach me that rising  and falling is an emblem to thrive !!

We are on a road
Towards eternal bliss
It takes infinite awareness
And endless patience

We are always in it
It has no beginning or end
It can be infinitely long
or endlessly short

Like falling down forever
without ever hitting the ground
you might feel painfully afraid
or extremely blessed

We are conditioned
To believe it is long
That we need to run for a while
To be able to see love comes on

The concept of happiness
Is learned without questioning
For why does it need a cause
Or requires something in exchange

The road to bliss is right here
You can feel it in your heart
To know what you desire
keeps you running forever

Unconditional happiness
Is experienced through awareness
Of the infinite brilliance of creation
And the endless beauty of existence

Have you ever thought about
The chances of your existence?
Of all the things you see around you?
Of the infinite causation
it took for all of this to happen?

The existence of heaven is right here
You only need a little gratitude to hear
To finally see everything with love
and never take it for granted for lack

And you get to decide how long you'll walk
To see and feel the love in your heart
And breathe it deep in
through the bliss in the air

What will you choose?
You decide
Because in the end
It's just you walking
Just you dreaming
Just you loving
Just you...
Breathe in that sweet bliss
