My Quotes

My Quotes

I cheated on my fears, broke up with my doubts, got engaged to my faith and now I'm marrying my dreams. Failure is an opportunity to begin again with more intelligence. Teach your daughter about shattering glass ceilings, not about glass slip

RIPPLES OF CHANGE

RIPPLES OF CHANGE

I started this a couple of days ago and just finished it today, May 4th. This poem is definitely a reflection of all the things that have been on my mind the past few weeks. As we get older, we can't help looking back over our lives. Being forgiven becomes as much a part of being able to forgive in the course of healing. Looking outside ourselves, yet deeply inward, past the stuff we would rather not look at. I feel that all the work I've done on myself in recovery the past 22 years, has made me a better person, sure. But only now do I feel I am truly ready to love that one special man for the rest of my life. I just don't know his name yet. THANK YOU for taking the time to have a read.

Cowardly Dog Feige Hund

Cowardly Dog / Feige Hund

Not written with anyone particular in mind...just trying something totally different. There are many people in this world who hide behind big words trying to make themselves feel better by putting someone else down. Just recently worked with a person like that who threw his big words around but could not even use a can opener to open a can and yet he tried to make everyone around him feel inferior. So I suppose that this is with all those type of people in mind. Translation is as follows You are a coward who hides Behind your so called knowledge But I know the truth you see You are really far inferior

PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE

PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE

"There is the silence of a great hatred, And the silence of a great love, And the silence of an embittered friendship. ... There is the silence of those unjustly punished ..." (Edgar Lee Masters, "Silence") Some life experience that leaves indelible mark, hard to wipe off, if ever. You know what I mean...

My Empty Hungry Heart

The condensed version of a 'cup of love' when sometimes all it takes is to clean out everything cluttering up your heart and make it pure and concentrated for only the one you love...

Heavenly Madness

Heavenly Madness

I couldn't have described love better than in this poet's few eloquent words (Tamaz Chiladze - a Georgian writer, dramatist, and poet). Here is love as a mix of infatuation, madness and, what's important, a big chunk of happiness in the link I attach. Wish you all love, my friends!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GmVajkqLNU

Blackbirds In The Rain

It was raining today. There was a constant drizzle for hours. I sat in a shed attached to the house, watching the blackbirds in action in the rain, searching for their food. The constant rhythmic sound of the rain on the galvanised sheet roof of the shed and the gentle drama playing out in the backyard with the blackbirds was a spiritual experience for me connecting me with Nature and the unity of all things as mentioned in the last verse.

DANCE WITH ME

Isolation (a sonnet)

Now touching on this isolation writing I touch it now I am the daylight fighting. This winter's day of clouds grey overcast To wait a week or two just to outlast. I've found something that I could not say Favor romance on a dismal day. So
