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."

Switchfoot

Once in a lifetime opportunity,

Integrity


Honesty is simply
conforming our words
with reality.

Integrity is simply
conforming reality
with our words.
