whateverlife.comMyspace Layouts .. ~*~Life's too short, to be a BiTcH~*~ i've been to the bottom of the emotional rollercoaster, and i've sat with paintbrush in hand, staring into the depths of the sky, painting my life away... i've witnessed soul's come and go... been to the black hole within myself, witnessed it in other's... watched loved one's, and myself through the "glass", suffer to regain truth and purity... i've put the past behind, only looking back to reflect upon those memories that are o' so precious... lived on a mountain with nothing but mother earth and myself... looked into many eyes, seeing fear, and hope... wondering if they too, will always be lost... I AM found, within life, love, and beauty, thanks to those who have helped guide my soul to knowledge and truth... i can not live everyday inside the walls of this black and white box called 'life'... "grey is my favorite color"... not technically, but you get me... or do you? either way... life is a journey that only your soul knows... take that journey by the hand and walk, side by side to the unspoken truth... we are all truth, and we all shall live in truth if we so choose to do so... knowledge and understanding are only beginings of what we know... be true to yourself, and other's...the people i know, eyes i feel, emotions i deny or live through, places i go, and moments i share have all left FOOTPRINTS ON MY SOUL... "Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship." ~Dalai Lama "Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it." ~Dalali Lama "In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth." ~Mahatma Gandhi "For certain is death for the born And certain is birth for the dead; Therefore over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve." ~Bhagavad Gita "Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." ~Buddha "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." ~John 8:32 "All religions must be tolerated, for, every man must get to heaven his own way." ~Frederick the Great "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading." ~Lao Tzu "The unique personality which is the real life in me, I can not gain unless I search for the real life, the spiritual quality, in others. I am myself spiritually dead unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others. For it is only with the god enthroned in the innermost shrine of the other, that the god hidden in me, will consent to appear." (The Ethical Philosophy of Life) ~Buddha~ "one who is awake" *the experience of awakening to the truth of life* ~Zen meditation is not physical culture, nor is it a method to gain something material. It is peacefulness and blessedness itself. It is the actualization of truth and wisdom. (Buddha Teachings) "The results of karma cannot be known by thought, and so should not be speculated about. Therefore, do not be the judge of people; do not make assumptions about others. A person is destroyed by holding judgements about others." (Anguttura Nikaya) ALEX GREY by far, the absolute most inspiring artist i have ever seen you never know if tomorrow, will bring sunshine or a beautiful awakening thunderstorm to move across your soul... i can never take back the things i have seen or done, said or thought, made or thrown away... the love of a person and from a person is something not to be thrown, given or taken away... but i guess it just has to be that way... family, and friends come and go... family may not always know or understand you... but friends can look into your eyes and see the pain and joy you feel... to throw that away is bitter... hold on to love within yourself and people will come to you... my heart is full of people...people are people and paths of different directions are only what God has put in front of each of us to choose... he places within us the faith to know that the paths we choose to walk are the ones that will lead to eternal bliss... no one is here to live for anyone else or to make another being happy... happiness comes only after peace within your soul is found... peace within your soul only comes after the love of who you are and the acceptance of who you TRUELY are becomes a part of your reality... with the knowledge i have gained from myself and what feels like another lifetime lived, i only take with me the peaceful, and beautiful times... learning is a major part of life... the people that have a special place in your heart may not always be here... so make sure the love you have for someone is shown and known... a hug is nothing more than an ounce of appreciation to have that someone, or everyone in your life...Get Your Own! | View Slideshowas the one's we know continue to grow, you must look at yourself, find that what you are is who you will grow to be... sometime's, most of the time, in many cases we need someone to hold our soul's up... make us feel needed and pure... there comes a time within us all individually, to break away from the things we know and grab ahold of the unknown and make it the truth, be known... breaking away and grabing ahold is only a small ounce of life, and the many challenges we shall encounter... the one's placed on the path that we followed in our past, will never be any less within our soul's than once before... the bad times of life shall never be forgotten, but the beautiful times create the smile on one's face... and the warmth within the heart... humans must grow and fade as the leaves and branches of a tree...
