About Me
THERE'S A CERTAINTY TO MY BEING ...
THAT COMES WITH EACH THOUGHT OF YOU
MY AIR IS LIGHT, TRANSPARENCY, YOU SEE RIGHT THROUGH
I GATHER THE MOMENTS ... FREEZE-FRAMING EACH TIME;
STARING AT NOTHING, BUT EVERYTHING ... MINE
ANY FOOL CAN SEE ... THIS CHOKE-HOLD ON-ME
STEALING MY AIR, FROM THIS NEW WORLD I SEE
IT TAKES MY BREATH ... THESE MOMENTS, THEY DO
DIVINE SUFFOCATION - THIS "AIR" OF YOUUUUU
THERE IS NEVER A MOMENT
WHEN THIS HEART DOESN'T BLEED
POURING OF LOVE, GIVING ALL I NEED.
MY MIND CAN'T SEE, WON'T LET ME SEE A TIME
WHERE THIS WELL -RUNS EMPTY ...
WHERE THIS HEART -RUNS DRY
THERE'S AN ETCH ENGRAVED, RUNNING WAY TO DEEP
CREATING A VALLEY ... TO WIDE TO LEAP
THERE'S NOT A BREATH THATS TAKEN, THAT DOESN'T SING A TUNE
INHALING DEEPLY ... WITH THE "SCENT OF YOU"
TICKLED BY FAULTS, INTRIGUED BY A POLISHED MIND
A SCENT SO RARE, AN ABSOLUTE -ONE OF A KIND
A THOUSAND MILES I'D WALK - A MILLION MORE I'D CLIMB
TO BREATHE-IN YOUR AIR, FREEZE-FRAMING TIME
OWNING ONE MORE SECOND - ANOTHER MOMENT...MINE
THERE ARE NO SHOES ... BY YOURS 2 FILL
AND THERE ARE NO MOMENTS...THAT COULD BE THIS "STILL"
FROZEN, I STAND...SLOW-FROOOOZEN...I STAAAAAAND.
EYES WIDE SHUT ... Awaiting ... My Brothers Hand

"IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR DARKNESS, THAT FRIGHTENS US.
OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE
OUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE
WE ASK OURSELVES, WHO AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS,
TALENTED, AND FABULOUS?
ACTUALLY, WHO ARE YOU "NOT" TO BE?
YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD. YOUR PLAYING "SMALL" DOESNT SERVE
THE WORLD; THERES NOTHING ENLIGHTENED, ABOUT SHRINKING,
SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WONT FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU.
WE WERE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD
/(THE UNIVERSE) THAT IS WITHIN US.
ITS NOT JUST IN SOME OF US, ITS IN EVERYONE!
And, AS WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE, WE UNCONSCIOUSLY
GIVE OTHER PEOPLE THE PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME.
AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEARS,
OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS."
YOU LEARN:
"AFTER A WHILE YOU LEARN THE SUBTLE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN HOLDING A HAND, AND CHAINING A SOUL
AND YOU LEARN THAT LOVE DOESN'T MEAN LEANING
AND THAT COMPANY DOESN'T MEAN SECURITY
AND YOU BEGIN TO LEARN,
THAT KISSES AREN'T COMPROMISES
AND PRESENTS AREN'T PROMISES. AND YOU BEGIN TO ACCEPT
YOUR DEFEATS, WITH YOUR HEAD UP AND YOUR EYES AHEAD
WITH THE GRACE OF A WOMAN OR A MAN,
NOT THE GRIEF OF A CHILD
AND YOU LEARN TO BUILD ALL YOUR LOADS ON TODAY
BECAUSE TOMORROWS GROUND IS TOO UNCERTAIN FOR PLANS
AND FUTURES HAVE A WAY OF FALLING DOWN IN MID FLIGHT
AFTER A WHILE YOU LEARN, THAT EVEN SUNSHINE BURNS
IF YOU ASK TOO MUCH.
SO, YOU PLANT YOUR OWN GARDEN, AND DECORATE YOUR OWN SOUL.
INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BUY YOU FLOWERS
AND YOU LEARN THAT YOU REALLY-CAN-ENDURE
THAT YOU REALLY-ARE-STRONG,
AND THAT YOU REALLY DO-HAVE-WORTH.
AND YOU LEARN ... AND YOU LEARN
WITH EVERY FAILURE ... YOU LEARN."

Sometimes I look within myself
and try to filter this over-thought, over-worked,
underpaid, always thinking a thought, 2 be over-run
by the next thought-"mind of mine."
What part of this beautiful symphony am I trying
2 filter from the world? Filters/Labels aren't
"what work!" They aren't "whats for the best!"
They're total BULL-!@$%# and leave us all limited
to this BOXED-IN WORLD and all its "ism's"
that have f-kd us up; leaving our lives in
mental chaos & Utter Dysfunction
SoOOoooo, since I love labels so much,(not) lol
I've decided to stick all those LABELS/filters
"you know where" and RUUUUUUUNNNN, with this
over-worked, over-thought, magnificent-masterpiece,
I call...My Mind~
KnowIt ~ OwnIt
"KNOWING AND OWNING MY STRENGTHS,
LOOKING AT MYSELF AND LOVING ALL THE FAULTS
THAT MAKE ME MORE RICH, MORE AMAZING, AND MORE HUMAN,
EACH TIME I LEARN THE TINIEST LESSON ...
FROM EACH PERFECT FLAW.
THROUGH THE EYES OF DIVINE PERFECTION,
CHARACTER IS BUILT.
AND WITHIN EACH LESSON LEARNED,
IS A GIFT I WILL EARN.
IN LEARNING, I MOVE FORWARD;
WHILE BRIDGING THE GAP,
BETWEEN THE HEART ... AND THE MIND.
KNOW YOUR STRENGTHS AND OWN THEIR POWER"

ATTITUDE:
"THE LONGER I LIVE, THE MORE I REALIZE
THE IMPACT OF ATTITUDE ON LIFE.
ATTITUDE TO ME, IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FACTS.
IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PAST,THAN EDUCATION,
THAN MONEY, THAN CIRCUMSTANCES, THAN FAILURES,
THAN SUCCESS, THAN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK, SAY, OR DO.
IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN APPEARANCE, GIFT, OR SKILL
IT WILL MAKE OR BREAK A COMPANY- A CHURCH- A HOME.
I AM CONVINCED THAT LIFE IS
10% WHAT HAPPENS TO ME AND 90% HOW I REACT TO IT.
THE REMARKABLE THING IS WE HAVE A CHOICE EVERY DAY
REGARDING THE ATTITUDE WE WILL EMBRACE FOR THAT DAY.
WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR PAST...THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO
IS PLAY ON THE STRING WE HAVE...
AND THAT IS ... OUR ATTITUDE!"
