Clause


And
then
I
felt
alive.

Impossible


If you saw the impossible,
would you believe it?

Dear Everyone


I want you to better off
for ever having met
me.

Learning


We do not learn to love,
we are born,
able.

We learn to choose love,
more and
more.

Dear Friends


So dear friends,
we walk alongside one another
we fight, laugh and cry together, we huddle
for warmth and we partner in wonderment

Though we hail from different lands
and indeed we have different destinations,
may it be known that we have discovered
something of our shared identity

and no shared encounter
was ever in vain.

Live by Faith


We know that faith
is not knowledge.

What if it is just the combination
of fear, love and the unlimited
human imagination?

Nothing to Lose


A man with a haggard face,
ragged beard and scraggly clothes,
drinking milk from the carton
as he walks, is not the sort of
man you want to mess with.

We become
dangerous when
we can act
with no reservations.

Cheat or Flip


If work is your jealous partner,
who keeps bossing you around
He never lets you stay out late,
or lets you party and have fun,
to let your hair down just once.

So cheat or flip.

The Cage is Open


Our ancestors didn't fight
for us to live in a template.

Part of being free is
accepting the freedom
to go anywhere
and do anything.

Sendai


Someone, somewhere,
picked up the phone,
dialed Japan, and got
voice-mail.

Over and
over and
over.

Chameleon

What if you were a Chameleon
and forgot which colour
Chameleons are supposed to be?

Would it matter?
Would you feel lost?
Would you feel free?

Unknown Swimming


Scientists are adults
who think like children.

They never lost curiosity,
swimming around
in the unknown.

Delicious


When you're hungry,
even mediocre foods
taste super delicious.

Stay hungry
for life.

Seriously

Don't take yourself too seriously,

it may be what you 'do for a living',
but it doesn't have to be serious.

Unforgiveness


How can you soar
when you are holding
someone to the floor?

The Other Side


If the grass always
looks greener on
the other side,

start watering
your side.

Prognosis


What would you do if you were
given only one month to live?

You'd make the most of
every second.

What would you do if you were
given only 80 years to live?

...

Real Compliment


How many times a day do
we complement someone
on their new haircut or
trend setting clothes

and not mention their
fortitude of spirit, caring
nature or generous heart.

Carpe Postero, Carpe Diem


What today lacks in promise,
it makes up for in certainty.

Seizing the day
is
Seizing the morrow.

No Games


You deserve
someone that trusts and not tests
someone who is patient and not punishing
someone who gives and not guards.

So please. No Hoops, No games.

Bird Seed


Some people are content
when they have a big job
big house, hot wife, big car.

Some people are content
when they are feeding birds
with little bits of bread.

Dog Ear

You wake up to
Austen, Thoreau and Keats
and he wakes up to her
.

Stiff Upper Lip


It's tough to remain
emotionally strong
and not appear to be
emotionally dead.
