If life is a cabaret old chum
it's certainly
a comedy
(seen in the long-shot)
and then some
or possibly
a tragedy
(viewed in close-up)
definitely
not a whole bunch of cherries in a bowl
altho' the thought is very droll
there to be tasted never wasted
as movement is a sure sign of life
sitting on the fence makes no sense
hit the streets running
floating locomoting keep on motivating
think on your feet crafty and cunning
a moving target is hard to hit
tho' it will seem
it may be but a dream
and you can take it or not give a whit
in time you'll find what comes after
meanwhile life is what you make it
IN AND OF TRUE DESTINY
Galvanized in faith,
Let us navigate onward:
Destiny waiting:-
True justice, let’s keep seeking:
Its arrival, God insured:-
Injustice trumped out,
We shall reflect equity:
True justice shining:-
Resowing democracy,
Greatness shall be rereaped:-
FROM ME TO YOU: APROPOS OF WISDOM, GUIDANCE, AND LEARNING
(A Teacher’s Reflections For And In A Labor Of Love)
Remember, “To not know is bad.”
“To not wish to know is worse:-”
Reading involves more than being able to pronounce words.
You must also know the meaning of each word encountered:-
It’s not about rushing to be first to complete the test.
It’s about taking your time to get the majority of right answers.
Hey, homework is equivalent to body and mind practice
in sports:-
Your mind is the home where you energize to become great
in academic challenges:-
Just because AI “solves” a problem for you, doesn’t mean
it’s solution is correct:-
Remember, AI only does what it is given by NI to do what you
input it to do:-
Remember, praying is not merely quick regurgitating
of remembered words;
Rather, praying is sacredly speaking with God, Saints,
and The Holy Spirit:-
Stop regurgitating, “I’m sorry”! Be in awareness!
“Don't be sorry; be aware.”
Hey, for me, teaching is a labor of love:-
Make learning likewise, for you:-
Be in onderful oneness onement:-
Peace and Love:-
If your life was a movie,
Would there be some good quotes?
Would every single line contain traces of gold?
Or would everything you say,
Sound as if your soul had been sold?
If your life was a movie,
Would you bother watching again?
Or would you rather read a book
To sit there and distract yourself
Because there never was a hook?
If your life was a movie,
Would you laugh at the sad parts?
Would you skip to the end?
Would you wish with everything inside you
That you could begin yet again?
If your life was a movie
What would the title be?
“The Boy In His Chair”?
“The Girl On Her Phone”?
Do you think that really fair?
No! Make your life a movie!
A story to be told.
With everything inside you,
Go out! Be bold!
Put music to your memories!
And of memories make some more!
Your life is your movie.
So tell me, what will you do?
Will you sit there in your sadness,
Or make a movie, tried and true?
I have to fall in love with my husband and my job every year
I list all the things I love about them and study the list
feeling terrific now
More precious than rubies, emeralds, or diamonds in any jewelry store,
are the treasures of a beautiful heart, which makes your own heart soar.
Once you've finally found that love, no chance is worth taking,
To disrupt a loving union, a wonderful destiny in the making.
Tap into the shining essence at the center of your being.
Be genuinely concerned about the lives that you are seeing.
Free the world's mindset of thoughts of prejudice and delusion.
Without caring, loving, and sharing, one has a sad conclusion.
Be kind to those of less fortune; let your heart's wisdom lead you.
The seeds you sew in life will be the harvest that returns to you.
Seize control of destiny and harmony through positive action.
Sharing love, peace, and joy follow the law of attraction.
Life is full of wondrous and endless possibilities,
a never-ending chance to turn dreams into realities.
Time to change from the way we have been taught,
choose wisely in every action, word, deed, and thought.
There is a hero of humanity in every man, woman, and child.
Remove the shackles from your heart and toss hatred to the wild.
When we stop turning heads and help the weak to be strong,
Infinite health and prosperity will flow and it will not take long.
Make the choice to plant seeds of peace, joy, and inspiration,
be light of heart and put away any acts of degradation.
We have been blessed with the ability to create anything we wish.
In this wonderful world of abundant wealth, there is no need to be selfish.
The seeds you plant in life will match and exceed the harvest you reap.
Daily cultivate your dreams, and make sure their roots run deep.
In all things, be pleasant, positive, and joyful; always put forth your best.
Our lives are the fields; the seeds are our actions and the results are in the harvest.
Lying on the back with mind full of thoughts
Memorizing of what i had been taught
But i did not come up with anything caught
Life full of tears and fate doing somersault
I was headed with the mission of happiness
With the objective of maintaining closeness
But i burden with the emotional press
Where anger and sadness makes it all mess
At this time all the relations got loose
The closed one got deaf which i had choose
I was driven like a harsh and down push
And i roamed like a missing pair of shoes
Then i sparked my inner light
Which was been outdated by my sight
After which my success route takes a flight
I feel like motivated that i ever might.
When Moses parted the waters
The mud squished up to his garters
So a crocodile said,
"If you'd rather be dead
Then guess where I'll chomp for starters!"
