We are born with inner power...often released when least expected -- not an intellectual awakening but a spiritual one. One teaches us, while the latter transforms us.

Sometimes the Sun really burns me --
too clear, a blabber of truth...while
the moon a bit more sympathetic, willing
to hide some blemishes, though a
great-deal more deceptive when it
comes to matters of heart.

Love finds a way, the closest mortals will come to omnipotence while on this earth.
|
Whenever we approach oneness with God, in the moment of prayer, or while creating a work of art, there is a natural sense of omnipotence. Also, the spirit of what we create lives on in that creation long after one's corporal body ceases to exist. We are yet attached to that creation in a very profound spiritual way. In the same way our love persists in those (example: children) we have partnered with the Divine to birth.

When I add water to the birdbath each morning, lots of bees show up to take drinks while birds approvingly tweeting. The little colorful love-birds are the bravest, flapping around me while in my connected process. Water, birds, bees, dogs, fleas...somehow it all works out for the best when each does its small part.

Black is Beautiful, White is Beautiful, at the end of the day, Which one is beautiful?
The Presidential Center of Barack Obama symbolizes that Black is Beautiful while
Hollywood symbolizes White is Beautiful. Which one is beautiful at the end of the day?

Survival mode is not where we are meant to remain; it is a temporary refuge for the weary soul while it searches for a path forward. Such is life—we stumble, we heal, we endure, and we press on until, one quiet day, we return to the silence from which we came.

Nothing worthwhile keeps when
expressed and stored outside
the Essence of Love.

"This begging for Spring is a brittle flower
We are fixed to the chilling earth by a terrible clear purpose
While the Sky's judgment remains a perfect, frozen crystal."

What we witness is the tides and swirls. We miss out on noticing the calmness within. The fact is that' it never spills out of the bowl which bears it's weight in what ever state it remains.
To some the cat's cradle is delightful, while some get entangled.
Simple strings of life are most melodious. And when beneath the raging mist, blind trust silently sails... No navigation is required.

I'm a poet who laughs at the creative process even while wrestling with it. Some days my glass feels full, other days it's bone-dry, but I've accepted both as part of the process.

Even the mountain, wrapped in its own mist,
for a while, forgets the valley exists.

One who gives thanks can find comfort in everything;
while who complain can find comfort in nothing.

I wish, while I blaze and shatter in forbidden love, that you might wake unbroken by oppression.

The most beautiful rose will always wilt

"Be polite and professional, but stand up for yourself when necessary - default to courtesy while avoiding passivity that enables disrespect. Take the high road, yet address harmful behavior directly and politely, saying 'please don't speak to me that way' or 'those remarks were hurtful and unjustified.' Assume good intent initially, but be firm and fair in establishing your boundaries. Give others the opportunity to recognize and adjust their conduct, promoting mutual respect."
|
"Avoid words that blow up the significance of disrespect, and be wary of confirmation bias that reinforces negativity. See the bigger picture and handle difficulties philosophically within yourself. While speaking of grievances may offer temporary relief, it can keep you stuck in victimhood. Choose to focus on inner growth rather than amplifying negativity outwardly."

Happiness is more expressive than Joy. Happiness is external. Joy is internal. Happiness is surface wiring. Joy is conduit. Happiness flirts. Joy is faithful. Both are like the two lobes of our brains. The one you make use of while making money is not the one you make use of while spending it. And life goes on. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Men and women are like mountains and mountain climbers. Women are like high mountains. Men are like the climbers. When men have not ascended them, they dream of ascending them. When they have ascended them, they climb down with the determination either to ascend again or never again to ascend. . . depending on their experience while on top them. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

We preach kindness while closing the doors on those who ask for just a flicker of light.

Love is like falling asleep: it only happens when you let go of yourself. And if it is worthwhile, it is generally true that love precedes the one loved.

Regulation is a necessity of governing while deregulation is a necessity of power.
