If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.
-Chinese Proverb
Wasn’t too long ago when I was thinking about these things… I wrote sometime back about my inspirations… Since then I have been blessed into meeting some beautiful and awe inspiring people… I have been blessed with some new friends… or shall I call them my muses…
Inspiration is an interesting thing. It can come in the form of a breeze or in the thunder of an applause… It can be seen in the majesty of the sun or in the darkness of the night… It can come in a single word after a thoughtful silence… It can come in the wake of a devistating tragedy… Either way we look for it… seek it… wait for an epiphany… wait for the knowledge… We feel the need for it… we wait… and some are blessed… like myself…
If I had to name an inspiration… I suppose it would have to be the unknown… I get inspired by my thoughts, my beliefs, the things that can not be explained… it inspires me to search, deep within myself… what I find is questions and a deep sense of wonder… how far will the mind go… But it is easy to name inspirational things… it is people that we need to inspire… people to rise above the rest and rescue us from the mundane… the routine… make us think out of the box, out of our lives… To find inspirational people that is a blessing…

Now to Grace… I can not thank her enough… she has inspired me simply by being… her words always carry a deeper and greater meaning… she is an inspiration
And now I call on the inspiration of my Soul’s friends… for they know who they are…

“One cannot weep for the entire world. It is beyond human strength. One must chose” -Jean Anouilh
When we wake and the dawn brings us our thoughts anew, what have we to do? A new day to bring a new way. Each day marks the possibility for greatness. And what do we do with it? Forget as people have done for years. We choose our battles, attribute our strengths and transcend our failures onto the next generation. When will this stop, the endless cycle of ignorance and contention?
Is it true we must choose? The pureness of the innocent who know not what the world has become. The misled who follow under false pretense the chosen path of few wise men? Who can we weep for? Ourselves perhaps? The cycle continues…nothing resolved…nothing achieved…the beginning at hand…the end perhaps. Do we all recognize man kind for its faults? Or do we see perfection in a mirage? We need to disturb our eyes, and suffer the Earth. Feel the Earth…for our fathers lie within screaming for us to hear, “Do not weep for the entire world…weep for yourselves, for the cure is hidden and it takes but one to see and the rest to believe”
Choose to believe!!
I recalled this quote by Jean Anouilh… perhaps we shall weep for one another…what say you?
Awaken your soul
Invoke your spirit
Open your mind
Call on your body
Life is a challenge
Our achievements unknown
All our strength we must gather
All our hopes we must show
This journey foreseen
On a page of a dream
Why is it so hard
To not fall apart?
To call on your soul
To invoke your spirit whole
For what is this life
But challenge upon strife?
One day we will be
One day we will see
For the past it has been
To the present we begin
Alive in our past
A life set a cast
No mold let it fill
Or our voice will be still
One day I will be happy… it is not this day, nor tomorrow… yet I know one day it will be so…
I know not what is the meaning behind this sadness… this daily pain… I feel as if my angel is crying…
I hear not her cries… I miss her sweet voice… I miss her embrace…
One day I will be free… it is not this day, nor tomorrow… yet I know one day it will be so…
I know not the reason for these feelings… I may be sad… but I am alright. It is not the sadness that bothers. It is something sweeter, deeper… I can not explain further, one day I will understand.
What is purpose?
According to some, purpose is required in order to live a decent life, a good life, with direction and meaning. Some people believe God assigns “purposes” to people and that it is their “destiny” to fulfill them. Some believe “purpose” is not given, but chosen.
What is destiny?
Destiny refers to a predetermined course of events. It may be conceived as a predetermined future, whether an individual or a world. It is a concept based on the belief that there is a fixed natural order to the universe.
Would you say “destiny” is “purpose”? I wonder. Is there some important purpose we have here? Are we missing it? Is the light of destiny, part of the greater flame of Life. Which originated first? Life or Destiny?
Do you recall… from a word… your word…
You spoke… and it rang… like a bell
The bell tolled… once… long ago…
It tolled for time had left…
Yet time was kept… in your word
Remember your word… for we had met
Once… when the bell tolled… long ago
Dedicated to Gypsy~Heart… for her energy and her light… something in her words and her spirit… reminds me of a time of old…I simply can not recall…
