You are the sea, deep but so hidden. Has anyone ever seen just how much more of you there is below your surface? Your waves will drag people out off of the shore and into deep waters. That is when they will break and spit them back onto the shore. The waves will be short-lived, never holding anyone for too long. Because all there is, is you.

You are the sea, giving and mysterious. People will flock to you for your beauty but you will keep a cool distance to stay safe. Keep them in shallow waters, nowhere near the person who you truly are. People will still try completely immersing themselves in you, showing you their vulnerabilities and you will completely ignore the importance of the gesture. Because all there is, is you.

You are the sea, surrounded by life but choosing to live alone. Those people that you see every day will ever only be people. Too many variables keep changing so you will only give the people enough of yourself to get them wet. Those storms that turn your insides will only ever be your own burden. Because all there is, is you.

I am a boat, pulled out and pushed back to shore by your waves. What could I be to the sea? My paint is chipped, my hull is cracked, and my interior is just as worn. But I will always brave your unpredictability as long as you let me, as long as you let me in close. I will tread the deepest waters because I have looked down into your depth and I have seen what you need. If a constant is what you need, Sea, then the constant is what I will be. Because it will never have to be only you.

The universe has given you everything you dream for.
The question is, how determined are you in claiming them?


Persistence is Key.

Powerful roots
pressing through the cement
of chaos, technology, negativity.

A stem, leaves,
slightly choked,
but not forsaken.

Despite the  constant struggle,
sun & fresh air soak through
the pores
of it's delicate skin.

The flesh empowered,
a bud appears.
Vibrancy and life pop
as the petals
u n f o l d.

The flower of life exists
to remind all beings...

*Love, peace, oneness
are the focus
of our thoughts.
The power is within,
but is useless without
exertion.
Share the knowledge
everyday.

Love always.
Love strongly.
Love deeply.
Love truly.

We can never completely wipe the slate. There will always be things that are left to fester and stagnate.

All we can do is turn to the next page while waiting for our memories to degrade as we inevitably progress further into old age.

Success stems from many things;
persistence is one.
The only thing you have to do
is learn to overcome.

Don't run in fear from failure,
it does not seek to harm you.
It wants to see you do your best,
and then wants to reward you.

If you fail just know one thing...

you didn't.

The only thing you learned
was one way not to do your task.
Try
try
try again.
**This challenge, too, will pass.

I may not have set the world on fire,
But neither have I gone down in flames!
Within me remains a burning desire
To achieve every one of my aims.

You've got this hour to sacrifice
And the power to move a mountain
You've got the power to claim the price
And desire to be an inspirational fountain
There's glory awaiting you
Disprove those hating you
