Be Kind To You

Be kind to yourself.

We all make supposed "mistakes" which are not really.

…it is called growing as people.

forgive and move on.

 

Be kind to yourself.

Understanding Begins With Ourselves

So many feel the need to fight

Living life with no inner light

Why do so many appal

Simple fact that Love is all                         

My desire all lost souls see

Potential for all they can be

Finding our own truths until

The Spark Of Understanding

Why is it thought such a fight

Living life within the light?

Purely expressed feelings actual

There never was anyone else to blame

Personal responsibility to now reclaim

All The Things (Happy World Poetry Day!)

It being absolutely essential

To live our life to our potential

Drifting along, getting on by

Lazy ways to truth deny

Living this way being soul treason

Finding excuses, rhyme or reason

Looking away from where we should be

Closing our minds to our liberty

Taking Off The Jacket

A comfort zone is like an old jacket

Worn it for too many years

It doesn’t quite fit anymore and definitely looks tired

Shabby and worn out

Carrying on being worn because it’s comfortable

Now is always the best time to leave comfort traps

Stretching ourselves

Where To Look?

Pondering the question…

How to be inspired?

Meditating, dreaming

Mind works overtime looking for the answer

Information meltdown time

 

Taking a quiet moment…looking around seeing anew

Inspiration?

It’s in every tree...city life goes on….and yet here we have nature

Nature still manifesting as the ultimate expression of art in motion

What could be more inspiring?

Connections

Our bodies borrowed from the universe

Made of stardust

Everywhere and nowhere at once

Souls having a human experience

Moving ego aside to freedom

Inspiration guiding our actions

Through universal connections

How often the truth hides

Right there in plain site

Seek and we find

I am the seasons

Life to renew

I am divine

It Must Be Him

The place is Birkdale during the British Open Golf, and a case of mistaken identity back in the late 1980’s, as related to me many years later by a friend

 

Seve, he’s my favourite golfer

Look, it must be him

I am pro any religion that advocates harming no others or taking a life

Protecting the innocent, nurturing the lost and protecting wildlife

Beyond Trying

Try, try and try again can be oh so trying

Endlessly trying, yet never really achieving

“At least I gave it a go, I tried” is wishy washy

Trying is hardly committing, whatever may be

Trying offers an opt-out clause at some point

“Giving it a try” guaranteed to disappoint

 

Any road to achievement in life is rarely linear

Which way forward oftentimes a little unclear
