"FOREVER NO MORE"No More invisible, speechless, deaf and blind child with neglected pleasures being addicted to denial, floating through time gravitating towards a warm arm with an appetite for the emptiness that promises, no harm.No more uncontrollable eruptions of emotional depression, a primal sos from the barren prison of selfless expression that only the guilty with innocent souls know buried in the social scar tissue of a defective ego.No more relentless sifting through bodies seeking self settling through competitive combat for what's left on the shelf a mad melee of supply and demand driven by a gullible pride that leads to sedating the you that suffocates inside.No More, forever no more, because I've unshut my eyes and the difference between God's word and man's will was realized. Seeing opposed and parallel lives some liguid and others frozen led me to never seek from man what God has chosen.Then the negative whispering subsided and the panicking ceased. The undercurrent suppression of pent up terror was released. As the mystery of the unknown manifested pristine clear, a positive message of truth entered my ear.Now across my face is a brand new smile with the newly revealed meaning of a destined child. A message of hope is being released from my heart and I am overwhelmed with dedication to do my partAll I ever wanted was to be what I once was, unbounded. Somehow it got all twisted and before long sounded as though life was a continuous connive-thrive-drive, choking out the simple joy of just being aliveNow I am filled with love; and I sing a love song, a song of yesterday, today tomorrow and beyond. My new prayer is, thank you God for setting me free.And thank you God for giving me back me~Mary J. Blige~QUOTES I'VE LEARN TO LIVE BY..."God, grant me the serenity to ACCEPT the things that I cannot change, the COURAGE to change the things I can, and the WISDOM to know the difference..." ~ Serenity PrayerBut those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; They will run and not grow weary, They will walk and not grow faint. ~ Isaiah 40:31We Need To Find God And He Can Not Be Found In Noise And Restlessness. God Is The Friend of Silence. See How Nature - Trees...Flowers...Grass - Grows In Silence. See The Stars... The Moon And The Sun - How They Move In Silence. We Need Silence To Be Able To Touch Souls!!! ~ Mother TeresaGames require skill. Running requires endurance, character, pride, physical strength, and mental toughness. Running is a test, not a game. A test of faith, belief, will, and trust in ones self. So hardcore that it needs a category all to itself to define the pain. When game players criticize, it's because they aren't willing to understand, not because they're stronger. Running is more than a sport; it's a lifestyle. If you have to ask us why we run, you'll never understand, so just accept. ~ Jessica PropstThe Reality of The Other Person Lies Not In What He Reveals To You...But What He Cannot Reveal To You. Therefore...If You Would Understand Him...Listen Not To What He Says...But Rather To What He Does Not Say!!! ~ Khalil Gibran
Anyone with great energy, and loves any form of artistic expression. People with inner beauty as great, or greater than their evident outer beauty... Happy, fun people... with kindness and the capacity to receive love and give love....Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
