Calling

It seems that I was called for this.

To glorify him because I am.

Competition

This is not a competition

it's a collaboration.

Creativity should never be

competitive.

“Try not to become a man of success 

rather try to become a man of value.” 

~ Albert Einstein

Channeled Energy

Like a skilled swordsman who channels the

power of a breeze into the tip of a blade.

An effective action is a precise and 

purposeful application of power.

Relative to Yourself

Compare yourself with the

sun and you may be dull.

Compare yourself with a

rock and you may be bright.

So perhaps you can avoid pride or despair 
by instead comparing  yourself with 

how far you've come, 

and 

the amazing places that you're going.

Tout est en Relation

   
La mer embrassée la côte
tandis le vent caresse herbe longue.
Le soleil regardait avec amoureusement,
une délicate, intimes chanson.

Be Accountable

Let someone in your room,

and you become acutely aware

of any mess that needs cleaning.

Don't sit in mess.

Let someone into your life.

Relationship over Results

He doesn't want your
popularity, money
influence or looks.

He only wants you.

Relation-Beings

If each and every relationship

you have with another person

came alive as an individual,

independent being,

What would that being be like?

Would it be bigger than you?

Would it be a force for good?

Goodbye

Two souls,
fortunate enough
to ever have met.

We need not say goodbye
if goodbye means forgetting.

After the Darkest Night

After the night; we step out,
into new light, with new breath.

Joy comes in the morning.

Plans

Falling short of our goals
is the catalyst for profound re-invention,
it makes us unique.

Know that there
are great plans
for your life.

Missing

She gently put her childish

lips, to the cup that had

once touched his.

It wasn't the same.

Prodigal

I am the prodigal son, who
is perpetually coming home.

To a father with open arms
and a passion in his eyes.

From darkness into glorious life.

Simple Lesson # 2

Though we are creatures of emotion,
"Don't try to hurt someone on purpose,

just because they hurt you on accident."

~ Dallas Clayton

Failure

To get something you never had

you have to do something you never did.

So, it's comforting to know that
you will fail at something.

If you don't fail,
you're not trying hard enough
or you're not dreaming big enough.

Don't fear or shy
away from it.
Failure can be the best way
of figuring out where you are going.
It is an essential part of success.

so, when you fall;

fall forward.

Rebirth

Be true to who you want to be,

even if it costs you who you are

right now.

Feeling and Doing

"What you feel only matters to you.

It's what you do to the people you say you love,

that's what matters.

It's the only thing that counts."

~ The Last Kiss

Simple Lesson #1

Content

is nothing

without

context.

Nature

She is patient,

she is beautiful,

unsubstitutable,

she does not boast

she does not compare.

She points to God,

she softens the soul,

she provides company,

she is complex in every leaf

she is infinity on our doorstep.

Whether the Weather

As for the weather?
She is doing as she pleases,
don' t mind her.

We are made of stronger stuff
than the wind.

Wrap Good Gifts Well

When trying to confront someone,
the way that we confront is just as
important as the message itself,
for it conveys the way we feel.

Sky Lantern

If you've ever taken too much responsibility,
you'll know that

there is a beautiful peace that comes

by taking all your tension and anxiety, letting go, and

watching them float away,

into the infinite.

Comfortable

We are happiest when

we live our lives true,

to who we want to be.

There's nothing better

than feeling comfortable

in your own skin.

Exciting Conversation

When you meet someone,

instead of asking someone what they do,

try asking them what they've always wanted to do.

Never Let Me Go

Ends are really

new beginnings.

"It had never occurred to me that our lives,
which had been so closely interwoven
could unravel with such speed."
~ Kazuo Ishiguro
