Flourish

For him, for her, for whoever

become a blessing to others,

become an attraction to others,

become a beacon to others,

by ensuring that you flourish

physically, socially, emotionally

spiritually, professionally, creatively.

It can be done, I've seen it

Never underestimate your own

creativity, ingenuity and ability

when it comes to completely

changing your own life and the

path of the whole world.

Warm Heart

Encouraging others

encourages us

too.

So there is no excuse
not to bathe the world
in due praise, that we
might be a greater
blessing to it.

I will speak ill of no one
and speak only good
of everyone I know.

Keep Moving Forward

You've not said your 

last goodbye yet mate.

So don't let this one

dampen the spirit

she loved you for.

The Questioner

I shouted into the abyss

I heard only what I felt.

This Great Unknown

How do you know if

you're doing life

right?

I think you know

the same way a painter

knows he's painting right.

You enjoy it,

you learn from it

you create it.

Tokyo

She is a beautiful city who is

comfortable with herself.

A proper lady, she is polite

and willing to serve with all her heart.

In shyness, she keeps to herself

while she longs for a connection,

but connection is seldom found. 

So she has built faster transportation

and quicker networks, keeping people 

moving, but not always closer.

Diligent and hard-working 

she silently works without complaining

but her bright lights and clanging jingles

testify small attempts at 'kicking back'.

Conscientious and prudent,

she respects the values of her elders

but she does not let that stop her

from experimenting with the new.

This is a beautiful city who is

comfortable with herself.

A proper lady, she is polite,

and though she can smile,

maybe one day,

she'll remember

how to laugh.
