Brave

Her hands weren't half as soft

or steady as she wanted them to be.

Nothing More, Nothing Less

I'm striking off any subconscious agenda

that I may have had

in every single relationship.

So that I

may fully love.

Until eventually,

I will see people as

nothing more

or

nothing less

than who they truly are.

The Man Who Lives Upstairs

He lives behind three locked doors.

His house, his bedroom and his heart.

Just maybe, while he's up there,

he's coming to terms with his own soul,

scribbling down revolutionary plans

to become a new man.

Closed people are like Chrysalises.

Pretending

Sometimes,

I like to pretend

that I understand

everything.

Value

A gift is only as good
as it's value to the receiver.

Shopping

Ever since we were born,

every minute, we buy

experience

with our potential.

Got a shopping list?

Clumsy

I am nothing noble,

nothing brave or refined.

Just a boy,
clumsily chasing desires like butterflies.

Not even then

We were not built to hurt each other.

These actions should

have no place here

and if the do,

they should be

locked up

tight,

in a box,

buried deep

in the ground

of a distant planet.

not even then.

Blind-sided by love

Recently, my brain and body have been in control

and my heart couldn't get a word in edge-ways, until.

I was blind-sided

by love.

Balance restored.

Teach

If you had one hour

to teach a class of young people

your most treasured

lesson in life.

What would you teach?

How would you teach it?

My Personal Mission Statement

To effectively and unambiguously benefit the world

through commitment to strengthening

integrity of character,

personal development and

relationship building.

Unceasingly seeking all that is

beauty, truth and love

with a light heart and child-like eyes.

"It's important not necessarily to be strong,
but to feel strong." ~ Jon Krakauer

Invictus

It's the adventure of your lifetime.

Take the wheel. Breathe the air. and

Never take your eyes off the horizon.

"I am the Captain of my ship,

The master of my soul."

- Ernest Henley

Humble Beginnings

Even the leader of the free world

liked laughs and a bit of a dress up.

Difficult Love

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives,

but I will not rejoice in the death of one,

not even an enemy.

Returning hate for hate multiplies hate,

adding deeper darkness to

a night already devoid of stars.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness:

only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate:

only love can do that.”

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Everything to its full

Working your hardest,

Laughing your heartiest,

Committing your fullest,

Running your fastest,

Loving your strongest,

Crying your loudest,

Resting your deepest,

Dreaming your biggest.

Everything to its full.

What would that be like?
