Faith in each forward step. As well as being disappointed, I have been pleasantly surprised.

Hopes and expectations are prison

|
Hope and Expectations are beautiful illusions that slowly turn into mental prisons.

|
The bars of God's law are to keep you from evil, not to keep you imprisoned in.

Know the difference between oppression & suppression. Oppression is overt, can easily be identified & “conquered”. Suppression happens in subtle realms of consciousness, is subconscious or unconscious. Many sophisticated, educated masculines, are involved in suppression of feminines for fear of descending into subconscious realm to unshackle masculine domination/control there. Unless we recognise how this suppression is exercised to retain egoic selves, we remain trapped in humanity’s prisons.

"The greatest prison is the one we build with our own doubts." ~Bella Joy

Paddles of innocence most pristine, sail through crucible blaze.
And the glowing soot embellishes the trail.
May what, the innocence never losses it's grace.
When souls hop thru the stars, how are they bothered about the scars!!!

Do you know your mind's a prison?
Have you been chained by depression and be brutally beaten by thoughts like Cain with thorns piercing your skin?
You haven't grown,
All the problems you've had you've also gotten the solutions easily.
So why do you worry?
A state of PEACE I can now trade for gold.

"Sometimes, life is like a workout. It's not a surprise that we crave a break in between."

|
So much of what we taste in life is bittersweet ... I'm not surprised when we crave the cake and candy too.

Every creature breathes the air of its own world,
a prisoner and a master of its element,
in a universe where ‘as above, so below’
is the first and final law.

There are just as many criminals in politics as there is in prison.

"The hardest prison is not walls, it is the heart that still waits."

|
There is no freedom for desire; I will merge with my prison until every part of me is erased, and disappearance becomes true death.

Open the gate of school and close the gate of prison. Where there is education there is security and progress. Prof Adejola Joseph.

Confidence is a subtle command. It takes prisoners and captivates them with modesty.

In an existence rife with disappointment, happiness must seem a fabled luxury, relegated to a distant past in the envelope of youth where obligation is an undiscovered theme and need exists in its pristine state, devoid of any attachment. If distance lends perspective, happiness will forever remain a legacy whose true value may only be appreciated in contrast to our misery.

If one captures the human heart...it can often imprison a penitent soul.

We're all held prisoner by our thoughts, having control over our thinking,will shorten the sentence.

Knowledge is a prison — and freedom its bars

|
You are the book, I read every day. Some times flipping through I read your moves and gestures. Some times rereads allow me to dive and decipher. Not everybody carries the ability to see all the bands emitting out of a prism named body.
Not every body carries the capability to read the prints provided by ever chirping senses. May I react or gaze through to store, depends upon my strategic core. Just one thing for you to know, I stack every book in the memory of my library.

"Surprise the World with your mind, not your tongue or hand."

I am surprised how such a small oval birdbath I keep in my backyard, attracts so many birds of different species. Of course, I do live in a desert. A lesson in there somewhere. Perhaps make a desert of one's heart, put a small bath of new love offered, and see what winged beauty it may attract.

The quicksand of anticipation
— the fire below
A changing experience
— is not an experience of change
Captive of emotion
— prisoner of deceit

When one can provide for others, a brief respite & calm... don't be surprised if they wish to extend their hiatus- and stay.

"When I need a break I run away from the computer/phone. The two things that have people in prison. Wish we could turn back time to a simpler time. I know time marches on with good/bad."
