The Comb-Over

Insecurities are like Private parts

Everyone's got them.

Yet people go to great lengths

either

to keep them concealed,

or

to make them appear to be

Amazing.

Psalm

As a blind man does not see

the intricacies of a sunset.

So too do I not see

the intricacies of your grace.

But

I

feel

it

still.

Point of View

If, in your point of view

you can only see you,

then your eyes

may be inside-out.

Because that can't

be normal.

No Unselfish Good Deed

Just because you get a kick

out of helping others,

does not make your

deeds essentially

selfish.

Find as many of these deeds

as you possibly can. For

all it means, is that

you, get a kick

out of Love.

Around in Circles

Learning does not always come

from experience.

Learning is the change made

by reflecting on experience.

Wield the Beast

I like it

when small people

get really really big dogs.

Such

brazen optimism,

Taking the tiger by the tail.

Popular Opinion

'Feelings are not Facts'

We can't always know what is right.

We can remember it might not be us.

Cleansing

No matter how much

cleansing and washing you do, You,

will still be you.

So don't allow

a fear of dirt

to stop the exploring.

Help

Some people cannot be helped

BUT

Never stop trying to help people.

Just do it.

There can be a fine line between

living and simply existing.

I've often found any doubt is removed

by living this simple,

flippant-sounding philosophy.

'Screw it, Just do it.'

"The brave may not live forever,

but the cautious do not live at all."

Outgrow your Rolemodels

I started a blog about outgrowing role models

but the truth is you can't.

No matter how much you grow,

They will always represent

that ancient call.

to know better, to be better.

Summer

Air tastes of barbecues

birds chirp through the night,

layers of clothes are shed.

Sound travels faster, as

open windows remind you

that you are not alone.

It's the time of year to fall in love

with life all over again. And also

Hayfever, sneezing, profuse sweating

and a personal awareness of the lack of toned muscles.

Looking Up

Everyone is going somewhere.

Some faster than others,

Some with noble motives,

Some travel with friends,

Some go further than others, and

Some don't know that they're

going anywhere at all.

but if we aren't careful,

we'll end up where we are going.

Her Eyes

Wide grin,

looking down at the floor

her feet bounced around

and she felt like a little girl again

as her dress swayed.

And as she laughed,

it came from more than just his

bad jokes,

more than

the jovial mood she found herself in.

She was allowing him to discover

her uniqueness, from everyone else in the world.

without a thought, she looked up

and there it was, everything she felt.

Held all in her eyes.

Know Better

Have you ever felt,

No matter how much

you know that 1 + 1 = 2,

you occasionally find yourself

living like it's not.

The wisest words

that man has ever discovered

have been learnt

the hard way.

Here's to...

Here's to all the people

who pass us in the street

we're nothing to each other,

except for that moment, brief.

Here's to all the plans,

the schemes and the dreams

that are just as fun to live,

as they were to conceive.

Here's to nostalgia

and everything we've learnt,

for all the things we tried and failed

for all the trust we earned.

Here's to the days

the ones when we fear the worst

we slap ourselves and carry on

keeping the hunger, keep the thirst.

Here's to that feeling

that we're travelling the right road

or when we know such joy,

and feel ready to explode.

And of course, It's come the time, to say

I'd like to take this chance,

"Here's to you, and you alone

and so, tonight, we dance."

Once in a lifetime opportunity,

The band were awesome to hang out with

after this gig.

YES

RSVP Yes

in ways you never expect.

Integrity

Honesty is simply

conforming our words

with reality.

Integrity is simply

conforming reality

with our words.
