HAPPY B-DAY ZHIVONIA!

You are a special niece to me.

It has been a blessing for me to see you grow up

to be the person who you were supposed to be.

The angels must have lent you their gloves,

so you could create those wonderful things

that fills my heart with beauty and love.

You should share your talents for others to see.

The angels will be as happy as they can be,

that you used their gloves to make pretty things,

to make people so happy they want to sing.

By sharing your gifts that shows your creative touch,

others will thank the angels from above that you helped them fill their homes

with beauty and love.

HAPPY B-DAY DAVEY!

Martyr

for davey

Sufferer for her cause

Sacrificial victim she is…

The difference between her and a madwoman is that she is not mad!

The fields are filled with desires of her voice crying for freedom,

But all in vain they will fade…

She understands that

The way of the world is,

To praise dead saints,

And persecute the living ones.

Her existence is predestined

She was born with a life purpose

It isn’t up to her whether or not she says yes to fulfill it.

Taking responsibility for her destiny,

She bears defeat without losing heart,

Answering the call…

Letting her soul be heard!

Her heart is unconditional!

It doesn’t blow in the wind

Or change with the weather

For she knows that if a flower can go through rain,

Her heart must go through pain.

There are many a tear in her heart that never reaches her eye

For she has her own ‘why’ of life,

She has to bear just about any ‘how.’

Knowing that we all live under the same sky,

But we don’t have the same horizon.

She is the sacrifice

For so that others may live!

She is ‘our’ Joan of Ark,

She is the face behind the mirror!

…the martyr

UNDERSTANDING ONENESS: LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Sometimes we look at the actions of others and find it difficult to understand what motivates them. But we are all doing the best we can with the information we currently have. We have all been taught how to see the world from the examples of those around us and by our experiences. Keeping this in mind, we can accept the choices made by others while seeking ways to increase the world's level of consciousness as a whole. Our different levels of consciousness are like the developmental stages of children, whose understanding varies according to their age and experience. For example, the behavior of a two-year-old who doesn't want to share can be understood as a phase of his social education, whereas a 16-year-old who behaves in the same manner would be thought to be acting childish. It is important to remember that we are each on our own unique path. We may have chosen certain lessons or made an agreement to play certain roles in the unfolding of the world's understanding before we incarnated in this lifetime. So our job is not to judge others but to shift the balance of understanding in the world by increasing our own. Every thought we have and action we take becomes part of the collective energy of the planet. When we use our energy to bring light into the world, it combines with the light brought by others to dispel the darkness. Though we live in a world of duality, which helps us to experience the material plane, we don't need to experience extremes to understand them. We can share our experiences and understanding with others not from a place of condescension but of connection. When the entire family of humanity understands that each of our thoughts, choices, and actions affect us all, we will share an incredible level of consciousness-one that puts our oneness above all else and helps us evolve into higher expressions of our spiritual selves. Remember the next time you witness an action of another that they are of the same earth as you but simply on a different conscious level at this point in their life. Find compassion, bless them, and move along your day in grace.

CHOOSING NOT TO BE A TARGET (EMOTIONAL ATTACKS)

Hurtful confrontations often leave us feeling drained and confused. When someone attacks us emotionally, we may wonder what we did to rouse their anger, and we take their actions personally. We may ask ourselves what we could have done to compel them to behave or speak that way toward us. It's important to remember that there are no real targets in an emotional attack and that it is usually a way for the attacker to redirect their uncomfortable feelings away from themselves. When people are overcome by strong emotions, like hurt or anguish, they may see themselves as victims and lash out at others as a means of protection or to make themselves feel better. You may be able to shield yourself from an emotional attack by not taking the behavior personally. First, however, it is good to cultivate a state of detachment that can provide you with some protection from the person who is attacking you. This will allow you to feel compassion for this person and remember that their behavior isn't as much about you as it is about their need to vent their emotions. If you have difficulty remaining unaffected by someone's behavior, take a moment to breathe deeply and remind yourself that you didn't do anything wrong, and you aren't responsible for people's feelings. If you can see that this person is indirectly expressing a need to you-whether they are reaching out for help or wanting to be heard-you may be able to diffuse the attack by getting them to talk about what is really bothering them. You cannot control other people's emotions, but you can control your own. If you sense yourself responding to their negativity, try not to let yourself. Keep your heart open to them, and they may let go of their defensiveness and yield to your compassion and openness.

STOP THE WORLD...

...I WANNA GET OFF! God created me to produce light in a dark world. No matter how small I am or what color I might be; like a little candle, I can produce the same amount of light, it is always up me, either to get lost in the darkness…or sparkle and show light to others. Have you ever had one of those days when seems like life is too much to bear? Have you ever had one of those days when the only exist in this world is despair? Have you ever had one of those days when you simply wish you could disappear? I sometimes feel as if I am lost in this cycle and the world just don't seem notice. I think that I am an one of those persons that feel all the world's ills and is just crushed by the weight of it on my SOUL. I AM THE DEVASTING LOSS; people in this world treat each other without care and simply exist to please themselves. How can we live as if LIFE just hapharzardly happens and thinks that it has no lasting effects? When I think of the CRIME and VIOLENCE that plagues our planet I can't help but to shed a few tears. Everyday someone WOMAN is KILLED or RAPED and no one seems bothered by it. These events are flashed across our TV screens and blasted on our RADIOS but to no avail they are seen by BLIND and heard by DEAF folks because our world is so JADED. I feel as if I am caught up in a never ending spiral of sadness and emptiness unable to find the lighe amidst the darkness. I feel the pain of those that live with broken hearts and torn souls. I feel the plight of the MOTHER that can't feed her children; I see her struggle and her heart ache. Makes me wish for a DO OVER, a SECOND chance...a way for her to begin again...MAKE ME WISH I WAS OUR MODERN DAY SAINT and that I could die for my FAITH in mankind. For in death I know I can bore witness @ last as a MARTYR TO TRUTH. Through me suffering could really end and mankind could live out the TRUTH that I dream of. Say! Let's forget it! Let's put it aside! Life is so large and the world is so wide. Days are so short and there's so much to do…Let's brush it away now and forever, so what do you say?Let's wipe off the slate, find something better to cherish than hate. There's so much good in the world that we've had, let's strike a balance and cross off the bad. Let's forgive it, whatever it is, let's not be slaves when we ought to be free. Let us live as if we know that sorrows are blessings that are half understood. Let’s live as if we know that hope is so sweet and it holds may dreams…Let's not wither! Let's branch out and rise out of the byways and nearer the skies. Let's spread some shade that's refreshing and deep where some tired soul may lie down and sleep. Let's not tarry! Let's do it right now…LET US DO IT BEFORE THE WORLD STOPS! AFTER ALL I AM PLAYING A PART AND THIS IS JUST A ROLE RIGHT?

ONLY TODAY...

Whatever I may want to do

It must be done today.

There is no other time.

Yesterdays are but today’s

Used and gone beyond my grasp.

Not one can ever be brought back;

Even as a bell can't be unrung

Or a spoken, unintended word

Be readily retrieved before

It reaches someone's ear.

Tomorrows are today’s awaiting birth.

Each comes unbidden in the night

To arrive full-fledged for me to use

And do whatever I may want to do.

HAPPY B-DAY MALLIEBOO!

Life Goes On...

-=-=-=-=-=-= -

In every human life,

there are some moments when one is sad and depressed

Frustrated from every zone of life,

And feel like leaving everything & going away

And Life Goes on...

Some moments in which one is wrapped with tensions

one wants to get out of them and fly high in the sky

But cant run away, and life goes on...

Some moments in which,

one who adores hurts sentiments,

one needs a support,

a shoulder to dry on,

But doesn't find one ,

and life goes on...

Some moments in which one gets tired of life

or so intensely hurt that one wants to die one wishes to end up with

life at that very moment, and life goes on...

And in every human life on day arrives

When there is a big halt to one's life.

And then the people cryand show that they were concerned

Then the question arises

Do they wait for one's death,

To care, To understand the one

If so, then wait till death and untill then

LIFE GOES ON...
