today's mantra
'I'd rather be wrong
knowing I thought for myself
then follow the crowd and be right'
a mantra i live by everyday
the sheep can`t understand
the ones who are a sleep don`t want to understand
but those wide awake know
and do understand
a quote that looks into the mirror my thoughts:
'united we stand, divided we fall'
I see the divide widen

hoarder mantra
What to keep and what to throw?
What if you truly do not know?
Bring it all outside to the day light
You might be spurred to action by the sight
Then again, you might me more like me
Wanting to keep all that you can now see

Honesty was his Mantra
people who did not know him called him crude, gruff, blunt
those of us who did, understood his logic,
honesty was his mantra
if you did not ask his opinion, he would not give it
But if you did, you knew not to expect molasses or sugar
he told you the truth as he saw it
things you knew already, but

A New Mantra
You've lifted a new mantra of American education
by staking your future on the fate of war & peace,
making university presidents tremble and
pro-Israel legislators cringe in anger -- you've intruded in their
scheme to assist a genocide, unaware of any rights
for the vanquished yet resilient Palestinians; they strongly disapprove
of your just struggle and watch your mass arrests

My life my mantra
My life my mantra
I often question my purpose for being here,
Whoever our creator has not made himself clear,
I had a cracking start, but what goes up must come down
And although I tried so hard to wear my smile as a crown,
it wasn't long until things began to fall apart,
And Life became

her mantra is I am fine
Her mantra is “I am fine”
She learned at an early age to neither gripe or whine.
sharing your feelings is not done said her mother.
She knew better than to have them, one way or another.
I am fine is what she told people when inside she was crying.
The smile of her face gave them no idea she

Go Outside
Take yourself outside and sit in a quiet place, and relax.
Close your eyes and look upwards, feel the heat of the sun upon your face.
Imagine the sand falling through your toes as you walk on the beach.
The sound of gulls and gentle waves flowing meets your ears.
Focus on your breathing as you take in all

Mantra Ride
. for public domain
I become what I see,
a flame on a wick,
expanses of infinity,
whimpers of a baby's cry,
resounding drums of totality.
I am nothing, and I am all,
often lost in the dark between.
So come on mantra,
let's go on the ride!
Splash me on the surface!
Dive me deep inside!
From outward totality
to inward infinity;
REMIND ME OF WHAT I AM!

Fazer mais
com menos,
é o mantra
da empreendedora
aquela
que transforma,
com paixão e fervor.
cada novo dia,
em dia melhor.
A empreendedora
é alquimista,
faz do chumbo,
ouro e do menos
mais melhor,
e mais e mais.
