Every person I encounter
changes me.
Every person that I write
or have written to
guides me on my path to
who I'm supposed to be.

If I shouted into the void,
*would you answer back?

And we will dance
until the whole world
is dancing with us.

Who knew that
colored paper with
dead guys' faces on it
could have the power
to influence, corrupt, and even ****.

Mi hija,
no te calles.
Tienes una voz.
Úsala.
Nunca te des por vencido
porque tienes una voz.
Úsala.
Hay muerto y violencia
en este mundo pero
nunca olvides que
tienes una voz.
Una voz que tiene el poder *inspirar.

Free yourself from what others think.
You are not meant to be a copy of someone
else; You are meant to be ORIGINAL, UNIQUE, OUTSTANDING and VIVACIOUS!
You are meant to be You.

Minds are books.
Never close them.

Mentes son libros.
Nunca los abráis.

When I am gone,
find me in the
slow, creeping morning light
at dawn
when the dew glistens
and returns to its creator.

When I am gone,
find me in the sparrow
that swoops and bends
to find the perfect place
in a giving tree.

When I am gone,
find me in the genuine smiles
of those around you
whom you fill with great joy.

When I am gone,
find me in the radiant sun
peaking through the clouds
giving light to the world.

When I am gone,
feel my love
for my love is a candle
ever burning, never fading,
always understanding that
sometime we will meet again
soon.

The mainstream media feeds us lies.
Our food companies feed us chemicals.
Schools conform to the government.
The government is run by corporations.
We are taught to obey, work and consume.
Are we free?
No.

Can we do something about it?
YES!

Question EVERYTHING.
If you don't know something
look it up because
knowledge is **power.

I now know the truth.
It has been inside me all along
but I haven't realized it until now.

I say unto you,
love is the answer.
All you ever need
is love.
It connects us all
to one another.

Immorality is out there
Hatred, greed, selfishness, violence
but you need to understand that love
is more powerful, more radiant
than any act of terror,
so smile at a stranger.
Comfort those in need,
for we are all called to be givers
of this force we call love.

And I know that I should be careful,
That I should hold back,
But with you, I can't.

You spark the flame,
The forest fire of passion
In my heart.

En la noche
me gusta pensar
en las cosas profundas
como el futuro
de nuestra sociedad.
También medito en
las memorias
de tú y yo.
Cosas profundas
como el agua  
que corre en el río
o nuestros besos mojados
en la lluvia.
Las palabras de amor
que mezclan con
mis pensamientos
profundos del mundo.

*Que tenga el mundo
en mis manos
cuando estoy contigo.

Yesterday a phrase popped into my head
while I was working.
It was, "the illusion of plenty."
I work in a grocery store
and everyday I am shocked
at the number of people
I see on foodstamps.

The US should stop worrying
about foreign wars because people
in our own country
are losing the war
against poverty.

The time will come
when you'll stumble upon
someone who will turn your life
upside-down and inside out.
Chances are, that encounter will happen when you least expect it...so
patience and diversion are key
for that special someone
to walk into your life
*unexpectedly.

Love surrounds me.
I can feel its pulsing warmth
enveloping me like an electric blanket.

Dear everyone,
Happiness does not
come from a scale.

Light me as your candle.
Feel my warmth surround you.
No matter where you are
my light will guide you home.

Underground,
where all is dark and dim,
rejoice in my warmth
for I am always beside you.

Hello there, green tea!
Now tell me,
am I who I ought to be?
