Premium MemberStoicism is the Key

In silence, when darkness 
envelopes the sky,
unlock the glass windows 
of your mind, 
forgive the stars
that veiled their silver,
for it is in times of 
confusion and calamity,
we paint our own
rose wine twilight,
that scintillates beyond
fleeting fog of time and sanity.

Sometimes, we forget to 
appreciate nature’s performance,
as life seems to be a 
black gold theatre of

Purposeful thought leaders, empowering intellect they reign, 
In disposition phlegmatic, indifferent to pleasure or pain,
Rejecting emotions vain, impassive within taciturn domain,
Questing for mindful contentment, virtues of reason ordain.

Missives tolling of rectitude, emanate from heart and mind,
Guiding sanctity of awareness, wisdom virtuous aligned,
Maximizing positive thoughts, amplifying tendencies kind,
Of knowledge and understanding, spirits tranquil designed.

Freeing from distress,

Premium MemberCosmic Stoicism: a Carnival of Absurd Wisdom

In stoic carnival, emotions juggle,
laughter somersaults on a tightrope of reason.
Epictetus, ringmaster, dons a clown's nose,
philosophy as whimsical sideshow.

Stoicism, circus tent of paradox,
where the lion tamer wrestles inner beasts.
The trapeze of fate swings on absurdity,
as three Moirai perform an acrobatic feat.

Seneca's stoic beard, a magical illusion,
transforms into a confetti-spewing waterfall.
Cynicism rides a unicycle of cosmic

Stoicism stands for wisdom,
Virtue and success,
Education,
Information,
Beat a gritty guess.

Virtue is the guiding force,
Of values that remain,
Honesty and clarity,
Promote a greater parity,
That modesty and charity retain.

Stoicism stands for truth,
In what we say and do,
Standing tall,
Is after all,
A harmony of two.

If you shake the money tree,
Shake it for a cause,
Love’s election,
Not perfection,
Settles for a pause.

Premium MemberSTOICISM

“Strong and silent” well defines a stoic person.
They try not to let things take them by surprise.
Owning their fate, they endure without complaint.
In fact, they don’t fear death, and tears seldom wet their eyes.
Calm are they in chaos. Also, they live in the “now.”
It’s their habit to listen more than speak, and they don’t just

"A gentle pat and soft voice comforts even the frighten beast." Quote_ by poet

How many children grow up thinking that abuse is the norm,
never complaining of what goes on in their home.
Like a 3-year-old boy being tossed and kicked repeatedly 
down a hallway of their building.  The abuse was caught 
on a doorbell camera.

I have felt the sting
And the joy of the rain
Soaked in its confusion
Watched
As it turned cold
Bitingly cold and angry
Upon a howling wind
Frozen rivulets
Pelting the helpless
Becoming a more friendly
Soft fluffiness
Drifting into mountains
Burying all hope
Smothering 
Isolated thought
Shaping the future
Of a sunrise
Hardening the resolve
Of life

"As a child I maintained a stoic attitude.
I exhibited patience, restraint, resignation, forbearance, and lack of complaint.
The ideal child you might say. As I grew, I realized the error of my ways."

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. 
Today I am wise, 
so I am changing myself.”
Rumi

In a world where ego still reigns supreme,
soul searches for a place seen in a dream.
An inn where there's no room for ignorance,
where no race of people seek dominance.

But, first one must turn to self reflection,
cleanse

Queen Bee Unseen

Our spirit is the sole queen 
Queen of the body’s hive as seen 
Without her, all would be anarchy 
Oh Queen, mercifully guide me 

If she falls over and tumbles 
The hive falls too as it rumbles 
Both plunge to the dirt of the tree 
Oh Queen, mercifully guide me 

If she is sound and
