Quote Left Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold, And many goodly states and kingdoms seen; Round many western islands have I been Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold. Oft of one wide expanse had I been told That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne; Yet did I never breathe its pure serene Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold: Then felt I like some watcher of the skies When a new planet swims into his ken; Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes He star'd at the Pacific--and all his men Look'd at each other with a wild surmise-- Silent, upon a peak in Darien. Quote Right

Quote Left I am one of those who believe that spiritual progress is a rule of human life, but the approach to perfection is slow and painful. If a woman elevates herself in one respect and is retarded in another, it is because the rough trail that leads to the mountain peak is not free of ambushes of thieves and lairs of wolves.

Quote Left Topographically the country is magnificent -- and terrifying. Why terrifying? Because nowhere else in the world is the divorce between man and nature so complete.

Quote Left If poetry and music speak the language of love, poets keep writing and musicians play on. Quote Right
Quote Left If you want to call yourself a Poet, don’t let anyone speak on your behalf - speak in own poetic voice. Don’t let anybody else speak about your abuse, expériences or healing. You not only give away your poetic license, you give away your power to feel completely. Any trauma will be diluted in this way & your cycles of repressed emotion will remain repressed in fragments. Worse, it will be coloured by someone else calling themselves collaborators. This is a sophisticated form of power usurping. Quote Right
Quote Left If you would speak truly, first learn to hate your own voice. Quote Right
Quote Left That which we cannot speak of, we must sing. Quote Right
Quote Left The speaker of a poem, if it is an effective poem, is a third self shared by the poet and the reader. Quote Right
Quote Left Any poem involves three people: 1) the person who wrote it, 2) the person who speaks it, and 3) the person who reads it. To confuse the first person with the second person is to guarantee the poem won't be successful, which is why so few successful poems are being written today. The poet's goal instead should be to bring the second and third persons as close together as possible. Quote Right
Quote Left When opinion precedes truth the devil is speaking. Quote Right
Quote Left Poetry, if it speaks validly, speaks from, and to, that part of us which makes each of us a unique individual human being, which is the same part of us that makes each of us identical with every other human being. This is the part of us which some call the unconscious, and some call the soul. Quote Right
Quote Left “The amount of academic degrees you hold or your occupational title is of no consequence to your Awakening. The amount of Courage you have, is. And Courage cannot be faked. It speaks through your actions & alignment with unmasked & unmatrixed Truth. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left Let them think you're not worth it. Let them think you're not enough. But know this: mediocrity isn't for me. I dream, I try, I speak, I fly. My spirit will not run dry, for I am blessed to reach the sky Quote Right
Quote Left Invisible silence speaks with its power. Quote Right
Quote Left Faith can protect us, feed us, give us a sense of security...but, those with deep faith, are also willing to serve in the desert, so to speak...if the situation calls for it -- be willing to go to the cross. Faith is a contract with Love. Quote Right
Quote Left "Don't try to coerce respect through intimidation or obsequiousness - these strategies undermine self-worth and lead to frustration. Authentic respect cannot be compelled; it stems from others' own judgments and choices. Instead of trying to control others' behavior, focus on self-respect and upholding your own standards of integrity. Lead by example through principled and rational responses that speak for themselves. By doing so, you'll maintain personal power and demonstrate true character." Quote Right

Quote Left "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." Quote Right
Quote Left "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." Quote Right
Quote Left Your Divine Spirit is an open book of spontaneous reference. I have met people who seldom read the bible...yet, most every word they speak and action they take, is Biblically correct. Am I saying, no need to read the bible? Absolutely not -- if a sense of emptiness, loneliness, dissatisfied existence, read, devour, savor! With ultimate goal of becoming.... Quote Right
Quote Left Illiteracy also means not being able to read or write the words of a language you neither speak nor understand. ~ Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Quote Right
Quote Left The heart pure speaks eternal glow. Quote Right
Quote Left All poetry is an expression of what the soul is undergoing. It takes courage for ego 2 step aside & let soul present itself. This is what poets do when they step forward to present their poetry to the world. They are not only speaking for themselves. They are speaking their truths, reflecting truths of many others experiencing the same soul development phenomenon on a planet rapidly transitioning from old paradigms into paradigms which Heart represents. ©GhairoDanielsQuotes Quote Right
Quote Left My mother didn’t teach me to speak, but to be silent with meaning. Quote Right
