Words Of Wisdom

Filed under: Blogroll, Life, love, people — by peiwriter @ 5:54 pm

I loved my grandmother, she passed on some great pearls of wisdom, and now that I am, I guess it’s my turn to pass on some things I have learned along the way, and perhaps give my children a lasting impression of who I am, not just as their Mother, but as a friend, lover, Daughter, Sister, Human and Woman.

Take care of yourselves, learn to love those things about yourself that make you unique as a human being. Your first commitment should be to your own physical, mental, and emotional welfare.

Always, no matter how difficult it may seem, follow your passion, Take those gifts you were born with, and create something beautiful, never try to live up too the expectations of other’s…You’ll always fall short within yourself, Just strive to be You, the magnificent souls I know you already are.

Forge your friendships carefully. Be the friend you would want to have. Friends lighten up the dark places we go sometimes, they stand beside you even when you think your all alone. Their love can be as unconditional as a Parent for their child.

Don’t forget to stand up for injustice, your voice is important for change. Be strong and brave when faced with injustices of your own, speak the truth, and in doing so, you change the world!

Never be afraid to show your Love, and to express it on a regular basis. Everyone, including you, needs to know they are loved but seldom get to hear it. Love is as important as the air you breath, for without it we would surely suffocate.

Never be afraid to cry. Crying helps you wash away old pain, it cleans your mind to help bring understanding to your grief.

Be good to each other, take care of the earth…and enjoy your right as a human to live on a Healthy Planet. Set an example, pick up other people’s litter…it’s like a smile, contagious when witnessed enough.

Happiness Is…

“Happiness Is”

 

And you once asked me…What is happiness anyway? I answered… Happiness is different things to each of us and I can speak only from my heart. Happiness is the first bloom of life on a tree in spring and happiness is a slow evening stroll down a quiet country lane with large snowflakes softly drifting down. Happiness is laying outside in the beauty that is summer with the warm breath of the sun caressing your very soul and happiness is seeing the leaves fall and rejoicing in the life cycle and the rebirth that will come with spring. Happiness is family and friends and the joy that comes from sharing your deepest thoughts and dreams and happiness is watching the stars in the deepest darkest time of the night and glorifying in the splendor and depth of the universe. Happiness is the feeling of joy that comes from simply being close to you and happiness is the knowledge that whatever happens, our lives have been changed for the better for having loved and been loved. Happiness is loving and knowing that you are loved and happiness is watching your children grow, knowing that you are helping to define who they will become and what they will believe to be important. Happiness is the silly grin that magically appears on my face whenever I think of you and happiness is waking up in your arms each and every morning and wanting nothing more than to make each hour of every day happier for you than the hour before.

I Love You

Filed under: love, poetry — by peiwriter @ 4:25 pm

I Love You for all the women I have not known

I love you for all the times I have not lived

For the smell of the vast sea and of warm bread

For the melting snow for the first flowers

For the pure beasts unafraid of man

I Love you for Loving

I love you for all the woman I do not love

Who reflects me except you I see myself so seldom

Without you I see nothing but a dessert waste

Between the present and the past

All these deaths I traversed on straw

I have not pierced my mirrors wall

I had to learn life word for word

As you forget

I love you for your wisdom that is not mine

For Health

I love you against all illusion

For this immortal heart I do not hold

You think you are doubt and you are but reason

You are the great sun arousing me

When I am sure of myself

Paul Eluard

Touched By an Angel

Filed under: God, Life, love, people, poetry — by peiwriter @ 4:20 pm

Touched by an Angel

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love’s light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

Written by Maya Angelou

This has an extremely deep insight into the world of spirit…only the amount of love we give, unconditionally, can raise us from this slumber that most are completely unaware of. Practicing God [ pure love], giving god, is the trigger to recieving god and is the only way to overcome the fear that guides us. For now, we sleep, until the dawning of awareness that the source and the key have always been inside. The kingdom of Heaven is inside you, and all around you, but we see it not. If someone tells you the Kingdom of Heaven is in the sky…I say the birds will receive Heaven before you..if someone tells you the kingdom of Heaven is in the Ocean..I say the fishes will receive the Kingdom of Heaven before you…but when you come to understand that the Kingdom of Heaven is inside you and all around you…you have entered wisdom. [gospel of Thomas...sort of]

WHEN DO I THINK OF YOU?

Filed under: love, poetry — by peiwriter @ 6:50 pm

I think of you in the peace
solitude and stillness of the early a.m., for
you are tranquility.

I think of you on an ocean’s front,
for you are the roar of the waves,
the power of the sea, and the salt in the air.

I think of you amidst a crowd
and the chorus of city sounds
…for that is my song, and you are the music.

You are my first thought of each new day,
and the last image I glimpse, as my eyes are
closed upon a feathered pillow.

In that secret place called sleep, it is you that
I search for, through shades of darkness and
clouds of cotton.

When do I think of you? Every moment
of my life. And, when the final sleep does come
and if there is thought…
it will be of you.

You Walked Lightly

Filed under: Life, love, poetry — by peiwriter @ 6:49 pm

You walked lightly into my life

Captivating and lovely to my mind,

At first, I never cared who you were

Now I dont know who I am without you,

You kissed me…I felt my world change,

You held me…I heard my heart awaken,

You loved me…And my soul was born anew

You walked lightly Into my life

Now my heart knows who you are

And with every breath, and every step

I take down lonely roads,

Your hand is my staff

Your voice is my guide,

Your strength my shelter

Your passion my awakening

You walked lightly into my life,

And all my pain, You took as your own,

All my fears,You cast into the sea,

All my doubt, Lost in your eyes,

You walked lightly into my life

And no matter if you choose to stay or go,

My life is forever changed

Just because you loved me

For a moment In time.

And because I choose To love you

For the rest of mine.
