master oshiba was walking,meditatve,
in the zen garden..
master,show me the right way..
asked the young disciple..
master oshiba replied :
young man,what's your left foot's name ?

Breathe it in than beathe it out
What took me a life time just to figure out
That what I've been is not what I should be
And who I am takes me away from me

The current is moving fast and I'm moving slow
Holding onto the anchors that I should let go
But You cast a net and it draws me near
It seems the closer that I get I drift away in fear

The breaking water reflects what I've become
As you put the pieces back where I have come undone
But I will pull off my pride and swim to shore
Bring me back to the place that I was once before

Is this where I am for Your sake
Drowning from the ripples of my own wake
But Im coming in so please cover me
And On This Rock Lord please comfort me

never surrender to moments of weakness it will be your downfall, continue to be in peace and happiness will rain down upon you, but if you upset the balance of life you will pay the price!

---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----The depths of the sea
They begin with a stream
Formed of tears from my heart

The current is pulling me under
As the water recedes
A tsunami of life crashes through me

Swallowed by chaos comfortably numb
This is His mercy to His will I succumb

Darkness hides in corners
Awaiting light of love
Loud silence echoes within

The touch of lover's hand
That draws the eye
To God's infinite design

Hope springs forth eternally
From the Master's grand plan

In God I found my faith

1 Chronicles 22:13
In God I found my way and joy
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever."
Psalm 23

"Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD."
Psalm 25:4-7
In God am safe
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. The LORD is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever."
Psalm 28:7-9
In God I put my trust
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6
In God I found my shelter
"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears."
Psalm 18:2-6

Lord I come to you with a broken heart
To you Oh Lord my healer
Heal my Heart, Heal my Soul, and Heal My Spirit
Restore my family; Restore my Church, Restore My Nation
Let your will be done

I dont know you,
you don't exist..
you're the reflect of my fears,
I don't like your skin color,
your way of speaking,
you're a alien,
your dreams are not mine..
you're not able to love,
like a civilized..
I hate you because,
you have my appearance..
why are you colored?
why a gay ?
why someone else,
I can't understand..
why are you a poet ?
why a philosopher ?
a thinker ?
not a honest worker..
your difference,
like a dagger,
like a danger..
please mister other..
free me,
from the bonds of myself..

master oshiba was in the garden ,
meditating in front of a beautiful
rose bed.

a young disciple came and asked a question:

-venerable master,what's love ?

-contemplate the roses.
replied master oshima.

after a moment of contemplation,
the youngster said :

-master,love is just a foolish illusion !

go now on your path and come back only in possession of a rose
who never wither ! concluded master oshima.
